Katherine came to the flat for a pre-birthday visit. As it was such a lovely day on the Sunday we decided to go on a river cruise from Greenwich to Tower Bridge. Full commentary was provided, not that everyone listened. Katherine and Harry enjoyed kitkat and fizzy drinks!
In the evening we had a take away and went on to the pub down the road 'The Grapes'. It sits on the river and has a tiny wooden terrace overlooking the water. Katherine managed to smash a glass in her drunken stupour! We hastened out!

We wanted to experience the river clipper (the fast boat service) so got that from near here to Embankment. Katherine was feeling a bit hungover and the waves made her feel a bit queasy. We then made our way to Kensington Gardens because I had always wanted to visit Princess Diana's memorial fountain. Before visiting the fountain we decided to have lunch at a cafe by the lake.
We both liked the fountain and felt it reflected what Diana would have wanted. Despite the notice asking children not to stand/play in it, all the children we saw were having a whale of a time playing in it! Keep Health and Safety away.
We then decided to visit Kensington Palace as they had a special exhibition on called 'The Enchanted Palace' which was rather lovely. Katherine got herself crowned in the throne room.
In the evening we went our for dinner (tapas) at 'La Tasca' which was ok but not terribly hot. We then went back to the flat and celebrated Katherine's birthday, two days early, with a birthday cake (from Waitrose, of course!).
