in the mother country to visit the queen

yesterday i flew from brussels to london to stay with issy for a few nights. she met me at heathrow and then we went home for a great evening catching up in her grandfather's very impressive house in kew gardens. 

today we took the tube into london proper to go shopping in oxford street. so surreal! red buses everywhere, black cabs, historic buildings and thousands of people! 

don't worry, i didn't even buy much! off to a house party tonight and then tomorrow i'm seeing sarah and david!
