ROYAL WEDDING DAY APPROACHING

Thursday 28 April and the day before the royal wedding. Royal fever pitch here in Essex with flags and bunting at the ready and street party plans all ready to go. It's a shame that after a tremendous mini heat wave amidst a traditionally April-shower month, it looks as if the bridal pair may have to fight off the rain tomorrow.

Several locals and friends are catching their train (30 minute ride) to Green Park to find a place along The Mall to camp out overnight. We wish them luck and suggested taking their red, white and blue fleeces. Few pics to illustrate this special time in England.
