A few weeks ago my husband Robin and I took a ‘flight’ on the London eye – something I was not sure I’d ever do. We had a sunset ‘flight’ (yes, that is what a trip on the eye is apparently called) which was heart-stopping for two reasons, the fact that it gave such amazing views over the capital and the fact that I was scared stiff! I have found that over time I have become more and more wary of heights, and just going on such an erm, freestanding/flimsy looking wheel was enough to make my knees turn to jelly. That said though, I had many moments when I could look out and really marvel at the sight of the red sun dipping behind all those famous landmarks, it was real ‘scene in a movie’ stuff. Above are just three of the many pictures we brought back with us to prove we actually did it! (I hope the photographers in the family appreciate  the attempt at composition and the arty wheel shot!)

I reckon it’s a must do for a visitor to London, it offers a unique and breathtaking overview of the city, just make sure you’ve picked out a pub close by for a stiff drink afterwards!
