First anniversary of the July 7 bombs today - slightly weird feel to the city as there is so much about it on the news etc. We had a 2 minute silence at midday as well. Hard to believe it has been a year - London has quickly slipped back into its usual life really, but it has no choice. We need public transport to live in this town so we all just keep getting back on the trains, the tubes and the buses.
Julia found an article the other day about a woman who lost her leg in one of the blasts and who is attempting Trailwalker this year. She was meant to walk it last year, but the bombs hit one week before it. I hope she completes it - although that will be a huge endeavour with a relatively new prosthetic leg.
The Sun newspaper had a photo of a number 30 bus (the number of the one that was blown up) on its front page with the word 'Unbeaten' instead of a destination. It was quite a strong image - reminiscent of the 'We Are Not Afraid' campaign that kicked off last year.
London just keeps on being London.
