| Looking for us?...Not in this crowd |
The Bartons of Queen Alexandra Mansions observed the royal nuptials with a few dozen other celebrants in "The Angel," a cozy pub in the village of Highgate, while sipping Pimms and tucking into a full English breakfast (ridiculous amounts of pork products, grilled tomato and mushrooms, baked beans, eggs, and toast). There was definitely an air of festivity, even outside the center of the city: businesses festooned with bunting, street parties, flag-waving children, and pictures of Kate and Wills smiling from unlikely spots. The forecast rain even held off---surprising that the Queen has that much power!...The English press has said all that can be said about the wedding - the dress, giving ratings to the headgear, cutting comments about the royal minibuses, verbal jousting between Royalists and Republicans, and just how quirky British-style celebrations can be. Royal Knees Up!..with smiles all around.
