Buckingham Palace is open briefly to the public during the summer months, while the 'family' are at Balmoral in Scotland. The wedding dress worn by Catherine Middleton is on display, along with the wedding cake (we love cake - I wonder if they are the type to share ?), so today we are buying tickets to the palace, to avoid the queue buying on the day! It's exciting to think that we are almost running out of time to get them to us, by snail mail, before we leave.
