Never a wish better than this

What a beautiful Sunday afternoon, with zillions of people all watching the fly past at Buckingham Palace. Here are a few photos from the Mall, including the ancient aircraft overhead and the poppies that floated down on us.






After that, off to Cilla's birthday party at a restaurant right by the Globe Theatre, with a great view of the river and buildings on the North side of the Thames. It felt kind of fitting to look out on the weathered dome of St. Paul's, 300 years of towering over the buildings around it. Solid, unperturbable, magnificent, this city, my London.
