Quick London recap
I wanted to write something earlier, but, as usual, I got lazy.
I was in London with my parents from 27th April to 4th May, it was my wedding anniversary present for them, as they'd never been there and mentioned they would like to visit it. We had a brilliant time, walked A LOT and even found decent weather. The focus of the trip was showing the city to my parents, of course, but I still managed to get my hands on "In between days", a photographic book on The Cure that recently came out.
We were staying near Earl's Court tube station and look what I saw right on the first evening, while we were trying to decide what to eat:
Talking about nerdy stuff, of course I walked into every single shop that sold Harry Potter merchandise, but I managed to not buy anything. I'm shocked. (I didn't go to the Platform 9 3/4 shop at King's Cross as I'd already been there and didn't want to drag my poor parents along just because I'm a hopeless fangirl.)
On the 1st May we went for a fancy (but not too expensive) afternoon tea at Covent Garden. My parents' faces when this arrived were priceless! XD
That's a portion for two. Here's the plate for the thirdwheel guest:
My mum's favourite parts was the Changing of the Guard and the afternoon tea, while my dad loved the Churchill War Rooms (as I was sure he would). I always have a great time in London and I'm happy my parents liked it too.
My next trip is going to be Brussels at the end of May. Yes, I'm going to see the last DÄ concert of the tour on top of seeing them in Milan, because hell, why not! And after that it's going to be Florence to see The Cure in June. Which I've just realised I still need to buy train tickets and book a hotel for. Oops.
