I had a fun time at the Trafalgar Square celebrations. Sang Oh Canada, talked with a few cops who were really enjoying the festivities and saw the Grey Cup at the CFL stand.
There was a huge crowd but still easy to get around with a lot of excuse me and sorrys throughout the day. Free water bottles were supplied as long as you made a donation to charity for the young Canadian woman killed in the terrorist at London Bridge. The money went to Shelter, a homeless charity she supported.
Got and Iced Cap and Timbits. Then on to the beer. The Sleemans started getting a little warm so we headed off to the Porterhouse on Maiden Lane where they were doing 4 bottles of Moosehead for £12. Yes please and minutes later there was a table full of Moosehead bottles.
When the Porterhouse ran out of Moosehead we went along the street to the Maple Leaf and drank outside there. At 9 pm I realised all I'd had the whole day was beer and Timbits so we went to Five Guys, then back to the Maple Leaf.
It was a fantastic day and really nice to see so many people celebrating Canada here. I loved it all and I cannot believe how surprisingly well I feel today.
I hope you all had a wonderful Canada Day, and here's to the next 150!
