Snowtopia

So the reports are true. It is cold. And we walked around in the snow all day
its also my best friend Dans 20TH BIRTHDAY!!! MANY CONGRATS TO HER!!! I spent the first half of the morning resting in bed recovering from tummy bug but felt revived enough after 11am to go on our Walking Tour of Royal London.
First was Buckingham Palace which was amazing. The queen was in residence..very cool
Second we went past where my future husband lives (mainly Prince Harry) of course we can't go round telling people yet because you know...media and all. but he and Prince Charles and Camilla were all in residence to. Went past James Palace and learnt all bout the history of Henry VIII and his six wives (typical) Shoulda realized it was his own fault he didn't get a son.
From there we went to Trafalgar Square...had a coffee break because it was so cold and we were all covered in snow. Met the admiral Nelson who saved England from the French in the Trafalgar War.
We traipsed through snow and sleet and ice past Churchill's warrooms and the pigeon eating pelicans from Russia (dead serious watch it on youtube).
FinALLY the tour led us to Westminister Abbey and Big Ben and the houses of Parliament which really made us realize we were in London. Lots of photos and walking later we defrosted in National Gallery before heading home to dress up for our theatre expedition...
Thats right we donned knitted stockings and dresses to go watch Grease at the Picadilly Theatre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really made my day. and the trip. Because it was hilarious and we knew all the songs and really you had to be there to experience it all....but trust me it was  good.


And then today we slept in a bit. Its not any warmer. In fact with the snow clearing up I think its gettin colder. We headed to the Tower of London which was fairly gruesome in its history but very photogenic. I even mastered the underground. We have yet to get on the wrong train or the wrong line despite numerous train swaps needed. We also saw the seriously pretty London Bridge. It being so cold we headed off to the London Eye which was fantastic...absolutely smashing (say in pommy accent)

BTW am very upset at the way the Ashes are going back home. C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!.

And now we are finally going for the promised pub meal for our weekly intake of veges and meat.....

mmm steak.

Much Love
