Happy Anniversary to Us

Our fifth wedding anniversary was on April 5th, and that was a Saturday this year… So, Paul and I decided to celebrate with an evening out in the countryside. What countryside did we visit? Well, have a lookie here.

White Cliffs of Dover

Yep, we went to Dover. And don’t worry, I’ll be posting some more about what we actually did. Thought I’d just give you the picture as a bit of a teaser.  😛

Exploring

So, this past weekend Paul and I took a day and spent it in London. I wanted to show him my new work neighborhood, known more formally as the “City of London .” Also, I wanted to explore the area a bit without any pressure to get anywhere within an hour, like I would have to do during lunch.

I took the camera along, and shot this picture of the Gherkin. I get to see it every day now.

Gherkin

The Lloyd’s building, as in, Lloyd’s of London, is right behind me where I’m taking this photo.

We also wandered around Leadenhall Market , which was closed. I took some pictures of Leadenhall Market, but I’ll publish those later – I wouldn’t want to spoil you, after all.

Afterwards, we headed back to London Bridge and relaxed for a while in a pub there. We hadn’t been out in London for a while, so it was a nice afternoon.

Voluptè

I never did tell you guys what we did for Paul’s birthday. I took him to Voluptè for cabaret and burlesque. Essentially dinner theater – we had a nice meal and caught the nightly show. And to top it off, we saw this girl pop balloons off her body with a metal skewer and then eat fire!

Mark the date

I’m busy on June 27. I’m sorry, but someone needs to tell my sister she can’t get married on this day.

I’m going to Glasgow. I’m going to go see one of those elusive bands which I haven’t ever seen. I saw U2 at Twickenham, so it isn’t them.

Nope, not U2 this time. I’m going to go to Glasgow to see Radiohead, and I am very happy about that. 😀

Dundee

We went to Dundee between Christmas and New Year. It was nice to get away from London for a bit.

Here’s a little picture I took of the Tay railroad bridge.

Hope you all have a great New Year!
