Day 1 in London

Hi All

What a mammoth trip it is to get here but well worth it!! 8 movies on the plane - 4 movies all sad- the Dark Horse, Calvary, the Normal heart and the Fault in the stars!! The other 4 were chick flicks and old copies of Modern Family!!!

 Dan has done a superb job of keeping us awake..... but fading fast. Historic day here and I know Frances will be following closely in NZ- the Scottish Referendum!! First results here at 2 am might watch live if my body clock is slow to change!!!

Met the lovely Dirk you can see who rules the roost in this house!!!

 Outside Dan's apartment-Aldgate East- cobbled streets- the works!!!!

 Walked to Tower Bridge- magical late summer evening no sweatshirts required.

 The amazing ceramic poppies around the Tower of London. the number is being added to until 11th November- each poppy represents a fallen soldier.

The Shard- tallest building in London in fact the EU-off there for dinner tomorrow night for Father's Day- will be interesting as John scared of heights!!!!The smaller building on the right is where Dan's office is located visiting there tomorrow.

WE are going to have an elction breakfast Saturday morning and John has heard that some ITM games are live. Hm......
