We are staying with friends in London this week and had a fabulous time today being tourists. We had a literary morning, viewing the treasures at the British Library and having our photo taken at Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross. Then we had lunch by Tower Bridge and a fascinating afternoon on HMS Belfast. The children explored the whole ship and Anna loved dressing up as the captain and sitting in his special chair on the bridge. We took the tube back to Bethnal Green and, despite being warned that there was rioting in the direction in which we needed to walk to return to our friends' home in Hackney, we arrived there perfectly safely. The only clues that something was up were the many police vehicles racing by and several helicopters circling overhead.
