Expecting extra stress for the new royal parents

Well, the new Royal has finally arrived, with Royal fans camping out for nights before the birth outside the hospital where the baby was to be born.

Bringing a new baby into the family is stressful enough, but you can’t help but wonder how much more stressful this must be when you are constantly under the media spotlight.

This precious little bundle is blissfully unaware at the moment that she is fourth in line to the throne.

When I first read that in the paper I thought they were referring to the queue for the Royal bathroom!

I would imagine William and Kate will be surrounded by a support network of helpers, but I wonder if they sometimes wish they could just pop to Spar in their tracksuit bottoms to pick up milk, or drive into the town for a kebab on a Friday night with no-one noticing?

I often get this problem in Tesco in Ammanford, I feel their pain!

I’m sure they’ll call on grandparents Charles and Camilla to pop round on a Saturday night to do a bit of babysitting so they can have a break!

Only constant is change

The more bank holidays I spend in Wales, the closer I get to having webbed feet.Another Bank Holiday over, and this one was a bit of a washout!

I hate to mention it, but I think I’ve jinxed the weather in Wales, as since I’ve displayed all of my solar lights, the weather has taken a turn for the worst and we’ve not had one evening where I can sit outside and gaze at my newly lit-up garden!

At least we are lucky enough in Wales to have some fantastic entertainment when the weather is less than favourable. We’ve got some great leisure facilities, museums, theatres, cinemas and indoor shopping available.

So, are we going to have a decent summer this year? Is it still too early to put my sledge away? That’s the great thing about living in Wales, you just never know!

In the last few weeks the shorts and T-shirts have been taken out of the cupboard and put back in about 27 times!

Not for nothing is Wales known as the land where you can get sunburn and frostbite on the same day.
