| My tea selections are a bit limited, but I think there are two good choices for tomorrow's big event across the pond. |
- Get manicure and pedicure.
- Check tea supply.
- Dash out to pick up scones.
- Take a long hot shower and put on my outfit. AKA my good PJ's
- Set my alarm for 4 am.
- Ponder which style hat goes with my outfit and hopefully drift off to sleep early.
Dream about these and wake up starving.
4:00 am alarm goes off. I predict groaning at the notion I will loose 2 hours of precious sleep, but then remember why and cheerfully get up. Check my outfit. I am betting it's a bit rumpled, but nothing a robe can't cure. I probably just need a hat....right? Here are a few favorite choices from the bride-to-be:
- 4:15am put the kettle on for tea, of course! English Breakfast or Prince of Wales?
- Pop scones in the oven and whip up some cream, American style...no time for clotted.
- Serve on something pretty with a linen napkin, it's a festive occasion afterall!
- Cozy up in favorite chair and watch television all morning and remember to say...
Hat #1

| Hat #2. |

| Hat #3. Kate looks great in all of them, but this is my favorite! |
Congratulations William & Catherine!!!
Wonderful! I am a stout royalist and our book club decided to make it an event. We are going to get together at 5: 30 AM and have scones and tea to watch it all unfold!
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying all the royal hubbub. Sadly, the wedding comes on at 2am here, so I will be watching reruns! Wish I could watch it with you and enjoy some scones and a nice cup of Earl Grey. :)

I'm more of an espresso kind of gal but love scones. I normally get up between four and five so here's hoping I wake early and I want to wear the first hat please!
ReplyDeleteEven though I have every intention of getting up at 4am, I am not sure I will be able to!
ReplyDeleteI will be clicking tea cups with you virtually my friend! Cheers!

Victoria,
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great idea, bet it was fun!
Terri,
It was so beautiful, I too look forward to re-runs on my DVR and the news.
AO & Kat,
Started out with tea...cheers to you both! Now I'm moving on to strong coffee before I head out for the day.
David,
I made the 4am wake up call shockingly easy!!! Did you?
I woke up in time to see her in the car with her father. So, went back to watch hours 4-6am this afternoon. Loved every single beautiful moment. You can see the real love they share.....I think they will have a long and happy marraige!!! Next up....that darling Prince Harry!

Wasn't it so exciting to watch? I truly enjoyed every second! Loved reading about your preparations.
ReplyDeleteMy morning was the same minus tea and scones! I had good strong coffee and 2 breakfasts by 10:00 am! Ha! It was too early for the dog, she went back to bed!

I am trying to catch up around the blogosphere today as last week was a whirlwind!! Love your plans for the royal day. Wasn't it just perfect? I loved it all - the dress, the tree lined Westminster Abbey, all the wonderful and crazy hats and of course the perfect couple!!
ReplyDeleteI think we must both have been padding around our homes in the early morning hours.
ReplyDeleteWe had a traditional breakfast and home made scones with devon cream and strawberry jam.
I set my table with my Royal invitations placed on the table
A beautiful day and memories I shall treasure
