A Weekend of Royal Wedding Festivities..

Tomorrow marks one of the biggest days of the year 2011 all over the globe with the celebration of the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton. 

The Royal Wedding will be taking place at Westminster Abbey. Following the wedding ceremony the newlyweds will be taking part in a carriage procession back to Buckingham Palace, where the public will be able to try to catch a glimpse of the extravagant event. 

There will also be a variety of royal wedding events throughout the weekend from fancy dress parties to art exhibitions to take part in, plus local special screenings of the ceremony throughout Notting Hill!

To the east...

The lovely Cloth Shop on Portobello have their new window for the spring/summer and it looks gorgeous. Loving the eastern themed parasols...

Portobello Street Art...

This piece of wall art appeared over the sunny bank holiday weekend. I think it’s fab but such a shame it’s torn! If you’re in the area go and take a look at our local 'black spot'!...

For your information: herbal remedies....

We were visited by our lovely neighbour from Bazaar this week who had come across some interesting info on the latest changes happening in the herbal remedy world.

Here are some of the facts...

After 30th April 2011 a legislation will be brought in by the EU that requires the UK and other countries to close the legal loophole that allowed unlicensed herbal remedies to be sold. This will have a number of different effects:

-To obtain registration the manufacturer must show that the product is made to certain standards

-Registered products must show a clear indication of what the product is for

-The manufacturer will supply information on how to use the product safely

-A product can only be registered if an equivalent product has been in use for 30 years, 15 of which have to have been in Europe. This means Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs won’t get registration easily and developing new products will be problematic.

-It is predicted that the new legislation will limit consumer choice and it will be become more difficult to obtain useful but less popular herbs.
