A little corner of France...

... became Britain last Friday!We sat on a patriotic sofa,


and ate a union flag cake decorated by Son 1,


with 'red, white and blue' layers - the boys made one colour each (I did the 'white' one).


We continue to have a great time with Ben's best of British mum, and are hoping to go to an animal park tomorrow, if the weather doesn't break! Thanks for all your lovely comments and I'll be around, if not very much just yet...

Everything was fixed up so festive for the big event. You thought of it all, even down to the colorful cake. It was a very beautiful and touching wedding, one of my favorite parts was when she came out on to the balcony and saw all of the people and it looked like she said "Oh my!" How sweet.

Yes, it was a great day for celebrating. Even though I was not that interested at the beginning, I got caught and cried my eyes out. Such a welcome break from all the bad news, and a nice little time in fairy / dream land.
(Reminds me that I was talking about the Queen and our British assistant asked "what Queen ?" - to her there are other monarchies in Europe, but well, there's no denying it : the British have THE monarchy).
And in August, we'll attend another wedding in England, closer to home : my sister's !
