Sat 18th July.
Went to the Tower of London. Split up from Kellie and Matt so I could go round everything at my own pace. Really took my time this time, unlike last time when I was dragging two bored, whinging teenage daughters around with me. Even made it in to the White Tower. There was a special exhibition of Henry viii's armour. Wow that was amazing! To be looking at the armour that he actually wore! Not just that, but all sorts of posessions and weapons. Quite unreal really, to be that close to these things.
Didn't bother going in to see the crown jewels cos the queue was about 10 miles long! Seen em before anyway, and once you've seen one...
Kellie and Matt went off somewhere while I went to do the Tower Bridge Exhibition. Took a very long time to climb the seemingly endless stairs!! Had two rests on the way up. Gotta give up the fags. Walked across the east walkway and got chatting to an Aussie guy who was showing me where the East end and the new dock development is, then went down in to the old engine room.
Walked along the South Bank and stopped at the Galleria, which is beautiful. Went in to a pub called the Horniman, opposite HMS Belfast, and had my very first Pimms and Lemonade. For those of you who are not Madness fans, shame on you, and Pimms and Lemonade is a reference to a Chas Smash song.
Sent txt to some fan-friends and Jon Young said a few of them were at the DC, so come on up.
Got tube up there, caght up with Chigs, Kitty, Patrick, Jon, and met Robert Hazelby and Paul Muscat.
