When the sun says Howdy...

So we've experienced an unusual amount of sunshine here in London recently (yay Global Warming!), meaning the six packs are coming out (of beer of course) and the posh girls once again begin profusely deny any use of fake tan (it's gradual tanning moisturiser, duh). Every morning windows across the city are opened and the rooms are instantly flooded with the scent of distant barbecues; every evening filled with the clash of various radio stations and the clinking of glasses as we take advantage of the many bank holidays.

This month we can expect to see a flood of tourists pouring in for...can you guess? Well, if you can't then lucky you, as it's hard to walk down a street these days without being confronted by Wills and Kate masks (£4!!!), mugs, plates...you name it, it exists, the strangest of these being condoms ('Don't be silly, wrap your Willy!') and fake nails with their portrait on. Insane products aside, I am a bit disappointed to be in Paris at the weekend, missing out on all the street parties and excitement. I must say I had a great Hovis-advert-esque image of everyone carting their dinner tables outside and slow motion laughing and drinking Pimms whilst the kids run around stealing ham sandwiches.

Royal condoms, slogan being 'Lie back and think of England!'

Feel your garden's lacking something? Well fear not! B&Q have launched a pair of Royal Wedding gnomes based on what the couple will look like in 50 years!

Papa John's specially designed pizza....I think I just died inside.

Whether you're already flying your St George's flag proudly out the window, or can't wait for this royal waste of time and money to be over, it is unavoidable, however check out some of these alternative events if you fancy something a bit different http://www.timeout.com/london/feature/965/royal-wedding-events-in-london/2

So whip out the jugs of home made lemonade and strawberries and cream and enjoy the sun whilst it lasts, with or without the Royals!
