Anyway, today was an extended birthday celebration; we went straight for lunch at the tiny Pizza Express on Upper James Street, and spent a fun hour watching Security turning tourists around who were trying to take a shortcut through Golden Square that had been closed for the UK Black Pride group.
Today was London Pride, and with perfect weather there was a really great atmosphere and tonnes of colour in town; so many roads were closed, but we were able to get about on foot and by tube with no problems, and we even ended up in Trafalgar Square with the masses at the end of the day...

| I see a potential quilt in that logo! |
I did buy a few bits and pieces, and will get some photos tomorrow for your delight.
We then headed down to Covent Garden, via this photo opportunity...
... and then back in time to have tea and cake at Mum & Dad's and rescue them from their day with the kids.
Home now, and my feet are aching, the grime has been washed off and I am looking forward to a bit of shut-eye.
3 weeks time and I'll be back up in that there London, and it can't come round quick enough xxx
Funny, I thought all Brits were in Melbourne for the rugby! I saw thirty thousand in the city myself!!
