London

Spent most of the day in London. For once, during recess, a number of London engagements had coincided so it was a worthwhile day.

Latter part of the day was spent doing TV interviews in Victoria Gardens, opposite the Millbank studios. Latter interview was constantly interrupted by mini convoys of police minibuses, sirens blaring heading off down the embankment.

That's the sort of thing that makes you feel twitchy in London these days - and you breathe a sigh of relief that the cop vans are actually heading away from you.
