Mr Sunshine ~ 1 (London)

My friend Gary came over from Hong Kong from May 2nd - 10th to visit his family ... and me of course. Yep I know that was ages back but it's been a busy kind of month with lots of twists and turns! I've nick named Gary Mr Sunshine because last year he came back at roughly the same time and it was glorius sunshine then for a week.

Anyway, we had a great week, as ever with Gary it was very regimented with early starts and his thirst for shopping is positively feminine! We had several days out including London, Lincoln and good old Skegness for fish and chips and an ice cream on the beach.So here are some of the photos from that lovely sunny London. I must add we did do Camden in London too but I've posted plenty of Camden photos before, so this time you get more cheesy tourist ones! Our route took us down to Oxford Street from Kings Cross, then into the seedy environs of Soho with its fab cd and comic shops before going through into China town and Leicester Square. After that it was just around the corner to Trafalgar Square and through the horseguards HQ and parade ground, down past Big Ben, along the Thames and back on the tube at the Embankment up to Camden for several hours heavy duty procurement of goods! An exhausting day to be sure.






I really liked this silhouette style one of Nelson watching a distant plane trail with the sun in front of him.
