Not that this has anything to do with my garden ...but putting the event on my timeline is all part of the 'what were you doing then stuff'....well actually I watched the wedding, walked around a lake, had a drink in a clubhouse while celebrating 'that kiss on the balcony' on a big screen with a bunch of lively revellers...then had a curry with some mates. Perfect.
Did you know that Kate Middleton's bouquet was homegrown..by British growers or cut from Royal Estates. It was mostly Lily of the Valley ...symbolising 'trustworthiness'.... no out of season flowers here either! Other trees (£50,000 worth of them) and flowers used in the Abbey were: myrtle - 'hope and love, hornbeams - 'resilience', field maples - 'humility and reserve', lilac - 'for youthful innocence'. Ideas taken by Kate from the popular Victorian code entitled 'Language of Flowers'. I'm just relieved that the trees are to be replanted ...rumour has it at the new home of the Duke and Dutchess.
