Harry, Hov and Ye

Am writing this from Birmingham, about an hour and a half north of London, where we stayed for the night to see Kanye and Jay-Z perform Watch the Throne! It was truly amazing and insane and intense! It went for about 2 and a half hours (which explains why I don't have a voice anymore) and they played every song you could want! Otis, 99 Problems, Gold Digger, Flashing Lights, H to the Izzo, Runaway, Monster, Dirt Off Your Shoulder, Good Life, N***as in Paris x 6!!, and so on! It was a laser show, there was a crazy circle, a bit of Claire's heel is missing, and it was just, well, amazing.

In other news, we have had a pretty busy week! The studios where the Harry Potter movies were filmed is open to the public, with all the original sets and props, so obviously we went. We saw the actual Knight Bus, drank Butterbeer, stood in The Burrow, Diagon Alley etc! Claire bought some Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, I got a vomit one. Delish. So that was Wednesday, Thursday we went to the Taste of London festival, ate our selves silly and ended up being interviewed and filmed for a Wedgewood film, and were given a free teacup and saucer worth about £30 ($50ish)! Very posh.
More shopping, some improv comedy which we howled with laughter to, met Laura's sister Lani who is very cool, and got engaged to a Steve Buscemi look alike (not my choice). Having an amazing time, but am quite nervous about Poland on Monday as we do not speak a hint of Polish!
Also fell backwards on the bus yesterday much to the dismay of the man behind me. Still just as clumsy in the UK as Perth.
Going out in London tonight, and finishing the UK off tomorrow night with the England v Italy game is an old English pub.
Missing everyone, am posting some post cards later today xx
