Royalty in the park

The weekly school report informed us that our youngest son’s ice skating class had its schedule adjusted by 15 minutes today because of a “state visit.” So I looked it up, and the “state visit” was a bit of British royalty – Prince William and Kate – visiting a bandy practice in the park.

Turns out we had a school meeting today anyway, so I forced my husband to take a bit of a detour by the park to catch a glimpse on our way there. It’s always good to take someone tall when you want to take photographs. There was just a small crowd of people (most people had to be at work).

Occasionally, there are benefits to being unemployed.

Note the red carpet on the ice. I thought that was a nice touch.
