Royal Buzz



The country is a-buzz with the royal wedding. Everyday there is a story on the news about the upcoming Royal Wedding. We've heard how the pottery manufacturers mucked up the royal pottery by misprinting something and about how the New Zealand Post misprinted the commemorative postage. Then there was Prince William's visit to New Zealand a few weeks ago. He visited Christchurch (of course the site of a catastrophic earthquake in February and numerous devastating aftershocks) and Greymouth (where the 19 miners were lost). And, the story today was that New Zealand was contributing $10,000 to the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal as Will & Kate's wedding gift. Oh, and yesterday, Prime Minister John Key was interviewed about his upcoming lunch with the Queen when he goes to the Royal Wedding. Is anyone as excited about the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? Just wondering.
