ExCel-lent!

Look who I met at ExCel exhibition centre today ... the lovely Julia Bradbury! She cut the ribbon on one of the exhibition stands, declaring 'everything in the world now open'! She must know she's photogenic, as she invited anyone who wished to take her photo. She's just as bubbly and friendly in real life as she comes across on TV, only even slimmer and more beautiful.

We crossed the Thames on the cable car but the sunshine was too hazy to do justice to the views, even though I timed one shot to catch a plane taking off from the city airport. So, Julia wins the day.

Shortly off out again to meet our son and daur-in-law for dinner. Hoorah!
