I love London....today!

The last few days have been really nice, which has been welcomed amidst the stresses of Max's major teething grizzles, house decorating etc. I have been spending some time in Central London, which I don't normally do much of - On Monday night Ben and I went to see Queen at the O2 (yes, the band Queen, minus Freddie of course but replaced by the very sexy Paul Rodgers). It was a swanky night, all paid for by his employers, and included a boat trip down the Thames from the Embankment to the O2 in Greenwich. It was just getting dark and was really beautiful and made me have warm fuzzy feelings about the capital, which I very rarely have!!

Then today, Ben had a meeting in London so Max and I decided to accompany him on the train and whilst he was doing his thing we went for a mooch around the National Gallery - Max and I had a lovely time admiring the works of art, and even though I have been before, I particularly enjoyed looking at the Constables knowing that this artist was a favourite of my Dad's.
So, today I really love London, however, as we stepped off the train into South East London suburbia I was brought sharply back down to the reality of London living for the working classes! Somehow I think it will not take long for my loathing to return along with my longing to be back in the countryside!

Anyway, enjoy these snapshots of the past few days.

Gorgeous night time views of London from the Thames.

My gorgeous boy, getting ready to admire some art!

On the way home on the train!

Had to throw this one in - Max watching CBeebies the other day - talk about mesmorised!
