So this past Sunday was the Trooping of the Colours, part of the events recognizing the Queens birthday. I went down to the Mall to watch it all - wow was it super cool! I saw gazillions of marching bands, red-coats, all sorts of pagentry and 'britishness'. Also got to see quite a few of the Royals!!! I saw the Queen, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince William, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenies, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne, and then probably some others that I don't know their name. It was AWESOME!!! I also got to participate in that epic sceen from TV - the crowd spilling into the Mall, going down to the plaza infront of Buckingham Palace, and cheer when the Royal Family comes out on the balconey to wave and watch a royal fly over by the military. Oh WOW was it cool!!!!
I also watched the USA v England football game at a pub near Kings Cross.... with a bunch of Americans... man was I playing with fire!!! But it was all good-hearted fun (probably because of how the game ended up...)
On Sunday I went out to Hever, the birthplace and home of Anne Boleyn and divorce settlement home of Anne of Cleaves, as well as the later home of the famous Astor Family. The park land and house were just lovely!!! I definitely reccomend it, even though it took me 4 trains to get to it (not a regular tourist attraction from London, but lots of coach tours go there).
Otherwise London is treating me well. I'm starting to upload on to Flickr, so check there for photos if you wish. I'm working most nights until 8pm, sometimes later. This week we've been told to clear both work and personal schedules as there is a major brief which needs filing. I think that means I'll be at work until midnight most nights, but nothing is confirmed yet.
I hope everyone at home is well. Feel free to send me an email or whatever.. I also accept care packages!! heheheeheh!!!!
ok - some photos...
