We've been wanting to decorate our bedroom for ages and even bought the paint just after Christmas, however finding the time to actually get on with the job has been difficult. But today, taking advantage of the four-day weekend, Mr W has been painting like a demon whilst I attempt to tackle some de-cluttering.

Congratulations to Prince William and Catherine Middleton on their marriage! Having watched the whole shebang on the television this morning we then joined our neighbours this afternoon for a street party to celebrate! The sun even shone for us after a rather dull start to the day.

Tomorrow we're having a street party on our road to celebrate the Royal Wedding and what could be more British than trifle so this evening I've been making some mini trifles for us to eat at the party! Just need to add the cream tomorrow morning.

After eating lots of big meals and chocolate when we were away last weekend, I decided that tonight I would be healthy and have a big salad with some smoked mackerel for my tea. Unfortunately I did have to have some salad cream with it but the good intentions were there!

We have a funny sort of palm tree in our front garden but for the last year or so the top has been looking very droopy and some new leaves have been growing at the bottom, so yesterday Mr W took the plunge and cut the top off in the hope that it will resurrect the tree. I'm not convinced but am prepared to give it a chance, currently though it looks rather odd!

The rare sight of our car being cleaned - Mr W even hoovered the inside!

Today was our seventh wedding anniversary. Sadly the weather in Warwickshire wasn't quite as sunny as it was in Weymouth on our wedding day, but we still had a good day out at Kenilworth Castle and these are the cards we received.
