We went to Angela's after school on Monday to celebrate Lily's birthday but left very abruptly as Lily was sick - we had managed to celebrate with fajitas and birthday cake before Lily's untimely vomitting. So we bundled ourselves in the car armed with a couple of plastic bags which were duly deposited in again on the way home :( Tuesday arrived and Lily was fine so we were able to celebrate at home with more cake and candles and presents.
Then today the children had a day off school because of the Royal Wedding. The University was hosting a big party which we went to. Tom and the rest of his school Glee Club were one of the performances on stage so we had a very early start to the day and got into town for 7.30am. After some breakfast and a warming (it was a very chilly day - sunny, but very cold) cup of coffee we watched all the performers

we watched the ceremony on a big screen in the quad then packed up and went home to watch the big finale on the balcony. A lovely day.
