In Lovely London Running!

Ed on the Hungerford Footbridge (I think that's what it's called) on a fine day in the lovely little town of London.

Arrived in Queen Lizzie's backyard last night and headed straight for a tiny little pub on the Strand, called the Nell Gwyn.  We're here for Siobhan's 30th birthday bash and her other half, and our other good mate, Stephen was working in the Gywn.  So the plan was to get there, have a drink or two, and then back to their place for the night.  We met some famous actors (Stephen and Siobhan are two fine actors so we meet famous people whenever we catch up with them!), and we met Ed, a friend of Stephen's who is also here for the birthday bash.  Anyway, enough of the scene setting:  Ed and I went out for a run in London town this morning, taking in the major sights on a beautiful day.  I always thought England and Ireland had similar climates but my God I was wrong - the day was absolutely beautiful here!  We ran up towards Trafalgar Square and then turned back a different way towards home - crossing a footbridge where bongo players and all those lovely artsy people were hanging out, crossing markets, art galleries, busy cafes and of course the mighty Thames.  All in all, just shy of 3 miles, but utterly refreshing.  I'm well ready for this big bash now, and hopefully Lizzy herself might make an appearance.
