Tuesday 23rd July
Yesterday a very important baby was born in London. And seeing as I was lucky enough to be here I thought it only fitting that I should join in the celebrations
Calling in on Sian and Owen to join us for the day
Breakfast with Sian and Owen at Deli X
A like-minded friend at Deli X, Deptford
Across the road from Sian and Owen's - a very unfortunately timed shot (which Count?)
Julie feels well enough to consider this for dinner - NOT!
Watching the Royal Force Artillery preparations for the 21 gun salute in Green Park to welcome the new prince
This chappie was none too pleased to pose with me - toff!
After this, it was back on the tube (map made from Lego) to go to Westminster to hear the bells
Listening to the bells of Westminster Abbey while sightseeing, it doesn't get more British than this
And then we hopped on a bus that went down Whitehall, round Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus before dropping us off in Regent St
And off we went to Choccywoccydoodah (a chocolate shop of reality TV fame for the uninitiated)
The cakes were amazing, the one on the left is a Wizard of Oz cake complete with red shoes and flying monkey
We decided to partake of the chocolate on offer (white chocolate fudge milk shakes - which were "quite refreshing" compared to what was to follow)
Two dipping pots, with goodies to dip, the strawberries were the only non-chocolate item, even the marshmallows were chocolate coated!
Underneath all of this is coconut cake OMG
Sian says "Don't make me run! I'm full of chocolate"
A rare photo, Alex is actually truly, ruly sick of chocolate
EVIDENCE INDEED THAT YOU CAN HAVE TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE!
The guard outside the Liberty store chocolatier has nothing to fear from us, we are certainly not going in there.
Here I am congratulating the new parents
One is very pleased to be a great granny
The Queens crown, made from Lego (as were people in the above three photos - we are in Hamley's toy store)
After an incredibly hot and steamy ride home on the tube and overground ( it hasn't rained today despite the thunderclouds and high humidity) we collapsed into bed. Good night little prince, we hope your first day in this world was as exciting as ours.
