Doctor Who BBC 2 Special

Keane in Concert at Kenwood House

The summer concerts at Kenwood House continued with Keane.
Despite the downpour yesterday evening the overcast skies cleared for a warm English summer's day
for a rousing performance by one of Britain's best loved bands!

Tom Chaplin later mentioned during the concert ' summer was still here!' well just about ,
no repeat of the heatwave a few weeks ago. At least Keane were hot stuff on stage playing mostly songs from their recent album 'Stangeland' and earlier hits from ther previous albums.

Drink at the Shard

Saw some theatre at the Scoop auditorum by City hall near the Tower Bridge.

Before the 8pm performance I went for a walk towards the Shard the newest high rise building dominating London's skyline.

Went up to the 32nd floor of the Shard for a drink. What a spectacular view!

Sunday at the Proms

Free proms at the Royal Albert Hall.

The new Doctor Who is ....

Peter Capaldi; just as the bookies had predicted. During the past week somehow the public had guessed the new identity of the Doctor and put a huge amount of bets on Capaldi becoming the new Doctor!

Picnic at Kenwood House

One-Day Heatwave in Britain plus the ' David Bowie Is ' exhibition

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year in England and apparently the hottest in a decade!
Kids at Somerset House took advantage of the water installation in the square to cool off!
Today the weather is much cooler and in the mid 20s rather than 32 degrees plus.


Today went to the David Bowie exhibition at the V and A museum. Absolutely fantastic!
