Lord Mayor's Show I

Sam snapped in the act of snapping St Paul's.


We've watched the Lord Mayor's Show on the telly each November for several years, and last year we decided that this year we'd visit. So we did! We got hold of grandstand tickets to make sure we had a great view, and got up in the middle of the night to take the early train to the capital.

The grandstands are right next to St Paul's cathedral. And I mean right next to it. When we'd arrived via the Tube Sam wanted to pose next to a sweet little garden. Who am I to argue?

This photo shows the proximity of our seats to the cathedral.

A quick self-portrait proves that Dad is indeed the devil. No wonder Sam's looking so smug.

The journey is all part of the fun of course. Sam loves the escalators on the underground.

Jumping ahead a bit, after the parade we ventured across the Millenium Bridge. Sadly it wasn't bouncing around as advertised, but it was very busy. This is from the south bank, obv.
