Our London trip happened. And what a memory it was. I have grinned almost constantly from Friday afternoon until about now. My face actually aches. There were times today where my body shook with sheer excitement. There are kids in Lego Land that are less bouncy-around-with-joy than I've been today.
Why all the fuss? Well, my amazing sister arranged for me and friends to embark upon a London trip, compromising of a Sherlock tour, dinner in The Sherlock Holmes pub and.........wait for it..............we actually saw the filming of the Sherlock special. In other words, we saw Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Una Stubbs, Mark Gattis, Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue in real life. Some of which, got up close and personal (well kind of).

On set today: there was fake snow, people saying "action", production
crew doing production crewy things, horse drawn carriages, a
deerstalker, fake mustaches, Victorian attire, pretend smog that refused
to move correctly and, have I mentioned, there was Benedict
Cumberbatch! Benedict Cumberbatch about 8 feet away from me. Actually
walking his long-legged stride. Actually walking and sending charisma
bubbles into the ether. Martin Freeman did his John Watson walk, the
one where he marches with purpose. Like he's late for an appointment
but isn't panicking. Fellow fans will know what I mean. Epic.

Moreover, I have spent time with some of my dearest friends, one of
which, I hadn't seen for about a year. My friends and I have laughed, chatted, drank
and eaten. Once or twice, I almost cried. We have created memories
that will ever remain some of the best I've had.

In no particular order, thank you to mum, dad, Hayley, Gav, Liz,
Nikki, Dani, Sam, Sarah. (So sorry that Steph and Gaynor couldn't join
us). I love you all.

PS. Is Benedict Cumberbatch better in real-life? You can bet your
boots he is. That man is an absolute god. If my BC crush slipped away
due to some real-life romantic interruptions, it's now back and better
than ever.;) I'm not single, I'm mentally dating Benedict Cumberbatch.
