Changing of the guard

Almost three years living in London, and we still hadn’t seen the changing of the guard! Well, all that changed yesterday when we met up with Weezy and Kylie outside Buckinghuge Palace to see what it’s all about. It was a gorgeous day yesterday, with temperatures reaching 20 degrees in the afternoon! And yet, I was still quite surprised at how many other people who had the same idea as us, and worse yet, had got there before us and taken all the best viewpoints! Even the cops came out to enjoy the show!

Truth be told; the ceremony was a bit of a non! All that happened in the 40 minutes that we were there, was:

• The new troop of guards marched in to the gates on the left;
• A band marched in to the gates on the right
• Some dudes on horses trotted past

That’s it! Admittedly, there seemed to be a lot of action inside the palace gates which we couldn’t see from where we were, but from what I could see, it looked like it was just people marching back and forward. Whiz bang.

Oh well; no real complaints, that’s one more thing ticked off the list – and watching the police yell at all the misbehaving tourists was a bit of a laugh. Plus, the girls all looked like celebrities in their dark sunnies.

Nice.
