Jubilee Sunday

[Sunday 3rd June 2012]
Rather a disappointment really - the river pageant today was meant to be the big event of the jubilee weekend. Living as we do very near the Thames, but in a sleepy and often forgotten about part of London, we thought we could just casually saunter down to the river around 3 and watch it all in relative peace and quiet.

When we did eventually venture outside, the reality was somewhat different - the streets near our flat were all thronging with people, and we couldn't get anywhere near the river at any of the nearby vantage points we thought we might try. The weather wasn't particularly nice either, so in the end we decided to just give up, go home, and watch it on the telly instead.
