It’s All a Bit of a Circus

Lessons learned: don’t make a visit to Buckingham Palace while the public is waiting for the name of a new royal. There were media tents and police everywhere, the crowds where choking the street and blocking traffic and getting a decent view of anything was near impossible. Which we didn’t stop to think about before we headed out and I guess that’s what you get when you don’t stop and think for thirty seconds.  (We learned later that evening or maybe the day after that his name was George. Ah, if only we had had patience.)

This post is half a truth and half me wanting to sneak a Canada Day’s post in here.  Me telling you that probably ruins the sneaky part of it but it’s the effort that counts, right?
