So it is with great excitement and more than a little trepidation that I am on my way to London to attend Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.
Bearing in mind that my first home was at 16 Powell Avenue on Bradford's Canterbury Estate, I've got to admit that I do feel quite humbled and amazed to have this opportunity.
I'm actually quite relaxed now but a few hours ago while I was madly trying to ensure that I'd packed everything we needed for the trip, I was rather stressed.
I just hope that I do myself and Bradford proud. I wanted to look my best and I hope that I do, even though I'm a girl on a budget. I chose a dress made from a Vogue Vintage pattern which I thought would be flattering and is also a nod to the 1950's in honour of the 60 years since Her Majesty's coronation.
It's certainly going to be an experience and I'm glad that I have been given this opportunity.
I may do a post after the event to try and describe it.
