LAST week's trip up north was good; Newcastle a bit on the so-so side, but Edinburgh truly special this time around. The town was abuzz with tourists, the weather fab, and food & vistas lovely. I changed my negative bias for Edinburgh during this 4th visit to the town, but still resent the Scots. Get on with independence already!
I returned to London on Friday, and excitement hit right away. Emily and Vivienne arrived on the Eurostar, dinner at Trader Vic's until midnight, follwed by private party with Paul and Angela.
Saturday we went to the grand finale of the Proms 2012 in Hyde Park, which lasted from 5-something until past 10 at night, and we brought along snacks and wine for 6. It was a blast, the organizers did a fantastic job to entertain the few thousand on the lawn.
Finally tonight: we'll have dinner & drinks on the R.S.Hispaniola at 7-ish, and will proceed to the upper deck at 10:15 for the fireworks, marking the end of the annual Mayor's Thames Festival, which coincides with the end of the Paralympics. If summer is any indication, autumn can sneak up on us, the exhilerance of London knows no seasonal ebb.
Bring it on, September!
