I got back from Greece on Sunday in a pretty mixed way. I’m glad that I didn’t have a repeat of previous experiences in airports however even though the flight was delayed by an hour it was worth it simply for the view coming into London. Sunday was the 5th of November, as ‘V’ from V from Vendetta warns us:

"Remember, remember the 5th of November"

I’ve got to say I’ve never seen London in the same way. It was a completely clear sky, and the entire city was lit up. Down below as far as the eye could see were firework going off in every single location all around the city. It was pretty spectacular as I hadn’t really appreciated just how large this city actually is; I tend not to bother looking out into the distance as I approach. So here’s a word to the wise, if in the future, you get the opporunity to fly into London in the evening on the 5th of November, and you know it on good authority that it’s going to be a clear night sky, definitely book that ticket.
