Random LONDON update

We realised that is has been over 12months since we have posted some random shot things we have been up to. So this should get us up to date.
First up we have a trip of Steve's to the Zoo as part of a photography course.
One of the local meerkats!!

On the day we moved out of Surrey Quays in Sth East London, the London Marathon was on. Not good for catching the tube with many bags & clothes lines etc. but good to prolong the cleaning for a bit.

Leading females

Unfortunately a motor cycle got in the way of the auto-focus with this one.

Liz Yelling, England's great hope

Elite Men

On what should have been a sunny summer's day, we headed to Kew Garden's. Unfortunately we were greeted with quite a cold breeze instead.

One exhausted dad......

Yes I am listening to the trees. The sound is like little drum taps, which according to the sign is the water moving past air pockets in the branches. Yes we don't know whether to believe it or not either!

Claire went to her work's summer event at Lingfield Racecourse. Very long bus trip, no money was won, but she did get to wear a 'fascinator' and pretend it was Royal Ascot.
Amazed at how sweaty the horse was, it only did one lap and it came second instead of first!
Other Aussies from work.
Bon Jovi at Twickenham. Amazing!
Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park. A fantastic afternoon listening to a few bands including The Bangles (yes, we walked like an egyptian), KT Tunstall and The Police.
15 rows back for the main event.

Claire made a quick trip back to Oz to attend Kim's wedding in Mackay (and put the finishing touches on our own wedding plans)

Lorraine and Col cutting some moves..

Harbour Beach in Mackay. The flags were out but there was no one anywhere to be found. This just wouldn't happen in England!
The Red Bull Air Race came back to London so this year we headed out with cameras to improve on last years shots. Sadly the tickets were sold out, so we headed up river a bit on the chance that we would still see the planes.

One of the apartment buildings of Canary Wharf.
Nest post THE WEDDING....
