We are all counting down the minutes to the Royal Wedding here at MSE! The anticipation of what the lovely Kate Middletons wedding dress is going to be like, and what sort of delightful affair they have planned is killing us! We've got our fingers crossed that the weather will be lovely and not horrendous as planned.
We hope that everyone celebrating the Royal Wedding has a great time tommorow, and if you're having a street party, have one for us!
For Anglophiles across the pond, who can't make it to the UK to celebrate the nuptials of Will & Kate, New York might just be the next best place to be!
The New York Palace hotel (www.newyorkpalace.com) in Midtown gets things started at 5:30, with a formal breakfast. Revelers can watch the ceremony on several televisions while tucking into scones with marmalade and scrambled eggs with Devonshire cream.
The Trump Hotel will be accepting guests at 5 a.m. for the Trump Royal Wedding Breakfast and the opportunity to watch the special wedding day unfold in the elegant confines of Jean Georges.
We think its great news that the entire world can tune in to this once in a lifetime event in the lap of luxury, even if they couldnt make it to England!Congratulations to the happy couple!
We're heading for the Warmest Easter Weekend on record! With temperatures set to hit 25c or higher this is exciting news for Britons and good news for retailers.
As temperatures have soared since last Easter, so too have sales in BBQ equipment. Homebase have reported gas sales high enough "to fuel 300,000 barbecues".
As for the Easter Eggs themselves, Sales arent rocketing nearly so much as they are for Hot Cross Buns, which Mike Prentice, group marketing executive at Spar, claims have shown a yearly increase in popularity for the last three years, helped by the fact that they are affordably treats when compared to the eggs. For those of us who are attempting to refrain from calories over the usually gluttonour Easter Hols, a host of alternative seasonal treats are now available, ranging from the Playmobil Egg (not just for kids!) Chocolate Manicures and for those who prefer Easter with a bit of gore, The London Bridge Experience offers a zombie easter bunny, and an Easter Head Hunt!Whatever you choose to spend your money on this bank holiday weekend, make sure to enjoy the heat!
