ola: Harrods, The Queen and England v San Marino

Mum and Dad are in England at the moment, visiting me and staying in Manchester with my Grandparents. They came down to London for 5 nights, so I took advantage of their open wallets and the fact they missed me (the favourite). The first night they arrived was my third celebration of my 21st birthday!

My sister made me a book full of anecdotes and quotes, and pictures of my face stuck of celebrities, it's very funny and full of glitter in classic Emma style. She also organised for lots of my friends from home to sign me a 21st card, which made me laugh, especially Matt's macaron quip. I got a whole bunch of things from home, my laptop (eeee), clothes and books etc. So good day.

On the Friday, we had some fun adventures around London, saw the Queen, went to Harrods (whose sandwiches are cheaper than my old work, very awkward), the V&A museum, the Natural History Museum and did some shopping in Chelsea. Mum bought her new pro camera with her and I got a bit attached to it. I've included a selection of the 400 photos I took that day!

That night, Dad and I went to Wembley and watched a cracking game of international football on the Friday night. I say cracking because England won 5-0, but apparently the San Marino players have day jobs, like teachers and window cleaners. Poor lads. I had fun though, I bought a beanie after all. The lovely day was topped off by being asked by a 50-year-old man with missing teeth if I'd like to get a coffee with him. I love the Tube.
