London 11 February 2008
Another L word and destination, I know, but surely the Daddy and Mummy of them all. I spent a night at home in Soho and this morning (at an ungodly hour) the air was so still and fresh I heard Big Ben chime seven – a first, and perhaps addictive. The city looked SO beautiful – a real Spring sensation. And I had one of the great London days where I was ferried from tv show to tv show (showbiz!) along the most fabulous routes around – Buckingham Palace, where crowds were gathering to see the changing of the Guard, Pall Mall, along the Thames and, later when all was done, a fast car to the airport with my sunglasses on thinking ‘this is IT’. So, then, tomorrow I am getting the handy lift in an Almeira to Ennis in the West of Ireland and, hey YES, that’s more of it. But oh my goodness London, London, London (and not burning DANN anymore, as Amy so eloquently put it).
