My mother kept asking who the couple on the front page of her Sunday Telegraph were so I took it off her and started turning pages to find something that wasn't about the Royal Wedding. And I turned the page and I turned the page and it wasn't until I reached page 24 that I found what I was looking for.

"Clearly nothing happened in the world yesterday," says Ailz. "So thank goodness for the Royal Wedding. Without it the journalists would have had nothing to write about."

I'm a grandparent now- with three grandkids- the oldest of whom is coming up to six. I'd sort of forgotten how much time and energy it takes to deal with little'uns.
