the happy little world of miss ktp!

Well the wait is finally over & most importantly we know what the dress looked like (how gorgeous?!)! The rents & I got up at 6am this morning to witness one if those 'where were you when...' moments & we can proudly say we saw it all in person! We thought that when we arrived at 7ish the mall would be packed & we'd just watch it all from trafalgar square but no, there was still space! We wandered down & ended up on the side of the road opposite the turning on the mall 2/3 people deep! We got so many free flags while waiting but we refused to advertise by using the bigger ones with logos on & used our smaller plastic ones instead! We'd been there about an hour when I needed the loo (how old am I?!) so wandered to McDs & had to wait about 30min! This is a photo of half the queue! I managed to fight my way back to ma & pa & not drink a drop more! Later on a brass band started playing to keep us entertained & we sang along...

Today was another looong day of walking! We started off at primarni cos I needed to return a dress that didn't fit & boy was that a bad plan! It took about half an hour to queue up! Eventually got it sorted tho & got a few more bits I didn't bother to try on cos that queue was stupid for that too so who knows I could have to go through it all again! We decided we needed a cuppa after that & headed to John Lewis where we also looked at ribbons to get a good idea if anything matched our wedding theme colours. After that was Regent Street & we saw all the flags ready for the royal wedding. Yay! We took a detour onto Carnaby Street to have a nosey at a few places for wedding outfit ideas (no secrets being given away just yet!) & saw all these mannequins lined up with 'Middleton' written on them, dunno if they're supposed to be just like her or what! Loved this sign below outside a pub near the shops! Our next stop was Shoreditch & B...

Yesterday we were very cultured & went to the Saatchi Gallery. When I was at uni I used to 'get' all the modern art & what it meant but now I end up looking at something with as blank a face as the rest of the people around me! I always like the Saatchi Gallery though cos as well as it being modern art, generally it looks good too! The first thing I loved was by Tessa Farmer & called 'Swarm.' It was a big glass tank that at first looked like it was full of dead insects but on closer inspection it was dead insects with tiny human skeletons rinding them. I could have looked at it for hours cos you always saw something new.  The dragonfly with 5 little skeletons riding it was brilliant! When we went downstairs we got to see the 20:50 by Richard Wilson again that we've not seen since it was in the old Saatchi Gallery. It's brilliant cos it's a room filled with oil & it's so still it creates a perfect reflection of the ceiling. Unfortunately...

I'm finally back in the land of social networking! Logged onto facebook & Twitter this morning to find most of my updates & notifications were rubbish so I hadn't really missed much! I'll have a look through all the photos I've been tagged at some point but there's not much else to do! I've really enjoyed getting back into my blog though so I think I'll try to keep it up as much as possible rather than boring everyone with status updates. So sorry blog people, I'm here to stay! roaming reporter KtPx

For Good Friday, seeing as it was a bank holiday, Adam & I decided to take a trip out of London & pop to Cambridge. It was only an hour on the train & I can't believe we've not taken advantage of it before. We walked from the station to the city centre & our plan was to head straight to the Tourist Info & see what was what. That was until we spotted a shopping centre & we ended up veering in "just for a quick look" & lost most of our morning in there! Yoink! We eventually came out & ended up in front of Kings College & it was stunning.   We managed to get away with looking like students for most of the time so we didn't get hassled too much from the punting tours but then someone spotted my camera & came over. Seeing as it wasn't too busy we managed to barter the price down a bit & we booked a tour for 4pm. We met up with Dave & Heather for a bite to eat & a good old catch up & carried on with a bit of s...
