so amidst Alistair's crazy stories, London has been incredible. i really liked it there, which surprised me. so to pick up where AL left off, we have the first annual sailing meeting of the road kill valley yacht club, were we met up with dad and Andi an all the other crew members for a very special dinner, after a lot of wine and very yummy food i somehow became the president of this yacht club, the night was ridiculously fun with lots of silliness from all ages. the next day the boys and i went to spitafeilds market, which is a fashion market. however it was so hot (28) that e bailed out and went and met up with dad instead. john, AL, dad and myself then made our way over to Westminster, and big Ben, on the very efficient tube station which i have grown to enjoy. big Ben - which is actually called the Westminster clock tower - a common misconception, was breathtaking, a lot bigger than i wld have imagined. and Westminster, although i was closed(being a Sunday) was also so old and historical. dad, aj and myself went on the London eye. although it was huge, and a fantastic view, i would bother again. its not that exciting. the next day dad and i did a double decker bus tour around the sites. it was great to see the landscape of London and really get my bearings a bit. it is a spectacular city, the history is great and u can really picture the times of the great plague and fire. we had lunch in Carnaby street, if u don't no this street, it was very big in the 'Twiggy' era and was known for its outrageous fashion, it is also where Ben Sherman began. that afternoon john al and myself found our way down to East Cowes, which is in the 'isle of whit'. we caught a ferry across the isle which was cool to see the water and all the boats. Cowes itself is adorable, although i haven't explored it yet, on a first impression is very 'English seaside' quaint and cute. anyway the week ahead should be good, a week of sailing, pub and exploring the countryside.
happy birthday mum and jessi
