So today is Amelia's 13th Birthday and we are off to London for the day. We have tickets for the Royal Mews, which are the stables at Buckingham Palace. We saw all the Queen's carriages, including the Gold State Landau, which was truly breathtaking. Only actually saw two horses, so a little disappointing on the jolly old four legged friend side of things, but great to see behind the scenes at some of the best stables in the world. Her surprise cake for her birthday had a horse on it that looked like Sunny. She couldn't blow out the candles for crying when she saw it!
We then went to try and get into Madame Tussauds, but I think the start of the queue was just outside Plymouth! So off we went to catch another tube to go to Trafalgar Square, to West End Live.
West End Live is a free concert, showcasing the best of the West End shows. We queued to get in and made our way down through the crowds. Toby Anstis, the Heart fm DJ was hosting the event, so I thought I'd be cheeky, and tweet him to say it was Amelia's birthday. The next time he came on stage, he told everyone about my tweet, and got the whole of Trafalgar Square to sing Happy Birthday to her! She blushed soooo red, but it was well worth it. She'll remember this day for a very long time. Not quite sure how I'm going to top that next year though?
It was an amazing day, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. It was good to spend some one to one, quality time with Amelia too. So it was two very weary travelling who got the tube back to Paddington and made their way back home to Cornwall.
