Odd week. Prince Charles was in town for a flying visit. So everything stopped and the whole islands swung into royal mode. A public holiday was declared. The Prince and Duchess attended a number of official engagements across the islands including the opening of the new upgraded airport. So by invitation I took a small group of my students along to the event. Not really expecting to see much.
Well you could have knocked me over with a feather we were only placed in the front row along the red carpet. The Prince stopped not once but twice to talk to us. All the years I have lived in the UK I have never clapped eyes on a member of the royal family and then here 4000 miles away from home I find myself face to face talking with the Heir to the Throne.
All jolly nice and a good excuse for a tea party or two. So I baked 500 cupcakes and 250 macaroons. Not one was left at the end of he party!
Next week Victoria and I are going to a cocktail party at the Governors Residence.
