After over 2 years, we finally went on an international trip to attend my niece's wedding in London
If weddings in India are full of fun, music and dance then this wedding was that and all class
where we all had reserved seats and printed menus
We all planned to stay a few more days to do some site seeing. I had visited London officially in 2011 and was able to recreate some memories
Open bus tour - then and now
Outside Windsor castle - then and now. Last time I did not have time to go inside the castle, this time we took time to visit the castle. The doll house was my favorite part of the castle. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures inside
Our visit coincided with the platinum jubilee and the whole city was decked up with flags
Hand knit ornaments outside Windsor gift shop to commemorate the platinum jubilee
My next favorite of the visit was the borough food market - so many stalls selling just cheese, olive oils, extracts...
This was a stall selling home made sauces and syrups. Look at all the yummy little bottles there. I was left spoilt for choice there
Fell in love with the variety of blooms. This was outside an apartment. Reminded me of the rhyme where it says 'chubby cheeks.. dimple chin..'
Now for some stitchy update
A fair amount of progress on mystery project
And orts - year to date

How lovely to visit London at this special time! Did your niece marry a soldier? My friend's son is an Irish Guard and recently did sentry duty outside Buckingham Palace so she is very excited about that.
The dolls house at Windsor is amazing, we visited a few years back now.
Looks like you had so much fun in London. Great pictures!
