🏳️🌈 Off out in that there Soho for gay-themed shenanigans (i.e. beers with a friend in Rupert Street 😉)

🏳️🌈 London Pride: the morning after…
I’m actually feeling surprisingly fine. Didn’t stay up too late, didn’t have too many beers, had a good dinner and rehydrated before bed. All that aside, I’m taking it very easy today.

🏳️🌈 Proud
Well, marching in the London Pride parade yesterday was an absolute blast.
The group I walked with from LGBT Humanists were lovely, the crowds were amazing, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many smiles in one place. Running up and down the street, high-fiving spectators while holding a placard was difficult, but no spills or falls occurred.
(Being screamed at by the religious extremists wasn’t as much fun, but they were quickly drowned out by the vast majority of free-thinking people in the crowd.)
After the parade, I met up with the usual suspects in the heart of Soho at Comptons, sank a few much-needed beers and had some lovely chats. The vibe was so friendly, so welcoming. Time flew by and suddenly, it was 9pm and I’d hit the wall. I was absolutely shattered. Time to make a move.
We made our way back home, stopping off for a couple of our favourite Burritos, then bed! This morning, I don’t have much of a voice, but I do have some incredible memories.
Happy Pride!

🏳️🌈 I’m going to need a lot more coffee before I’m in full London Pride mode. But once I am, I’ll be unstoppable… 🤣

🏳️🌈 Really looking forward to marching in tomorrow’s London Pride parade.
I’ll be with the LGBT Humanists. Give us a wave when you see us! I had an absolute blast the last time I marched in the parade. Such positivity, such joy. Thousands of smiling faces.

🇹🇭 Congrats to Thailand for recognising marriage equality 🏳️🌈
Thailand passes historic bill recognising marriage equality. Country on track to become third in Asia – after Taiwan and Nepal – to legalise same-sex marriage

📸 Enjoying the Sitges Pride parade last weekend. I’m missing the sunshine so much right now.

📸 I’ve put a carefully curated (ahem) set of pics from Sitges Pride on Flicker and you can find them here.

✈️ All packed and ready to go!
I did 90% of my packing last night, but I always leave my toiletries until the day of travel. Somehow, I believe I won’t forget anything that way 🤣 (Even though I have an incredibly well organised packing list in Apple Notes…)
Heading to London City Airport shortly, then to Barcelona, then a quick taxi down to Sitges for a week of Pride celebrations ☀️🏳️🌈✈️🌊🏝️🍸🍺

I knew I bought these dungarees for a reason! Loving this afternoon’s music, sunshine and beers at Mighty Hoopla!

✈️ Mmmmm… this time next week, I’ll be in Sitges.
Almost certainly sitting in the square outside Parrot’s Bar, definitely enjoying the people watching. And the warmer temperatures. It’s a veritable home away from home and will eventually be my actual home. If all current plans work out.
