Wow!

A quick shopping trip into Central London on Saturday afternoon turned into a real eye-opener. It was the annual London Gay Pride march and there were around 500,000 participants representing the full spectrum of humankind. A rainbow of colours, huge hair, high heels at the end of the highest boots you've ever seen and the occasional terrifying G-string all combining to create a carnival type atmosphere with a fairytale theme. My thoughts were for the foreign tourists wandering the streets; surprised at a city that seemed very different to everything they'd read in their guidebooks.
