This couple looked very familiar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am a really good tourist.<\/p>\n

Seriously. I love travelling and when I travel I buy souvenirs. My house is full of them. I once had a competition going with a friend to see who could find the tackiest souvenir ever. And yes, there are a few Royal wedding souvenirs that might be eligible\u2026 but that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t celebrate the whole idea of souvenirs \u2026 because that\u2019s how we remember the good times.<\/p>\n

Wandering around Windsor, there is a wealth of choice.<\/p>\n

Some of you may know I have a life sized cardboard cutout of Mr Spock from the original Star Trek series (don\u2019t ask).<\/p>\n

If that would be your souvenir of choice for a royal wedding – you might have to fight for it. There were a lot of selfies being taken. I love that so many people just smiled when they saw the figures. That\u2019s always a good thing.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are plenty of other options – after all, there\u2019s no such thing as too many royal wedding souvenirs.<\/p>\n

They came in all shapes and sizes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

T-shirts are among my favourite souvenirs. I own T-shirts featuring rock bands, books, ruined castles, radio-telescopes, caves and music festivals and… Much as I love a T-shirt – I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d feel entirely comfortable walking around with the happy couple on my\u2026 enough said.<\/p>\n

\"\"
One t-shirt I did not take home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And if you need a good tote bag to carry all those souvenirs home\u2026 there was plenty of choice.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Just in case you forgot what you were celebrating.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Come back tomorrow for number #5 in the countdown – a t-shirt I was barely able to resist becasue of who was wearing it…<\/p>\n
