On the Saturday of Bear Pride Weekend (formerly known as the late Spring bank
holiday) some of us went on a boat trip on the river.
The weather was typical London weather - alternately sunny and overcast -
when it was overcast it was quite cold, but when the sun came out it was
beautifully warm. This trip had the mixture of being fascinating viewing of the
river bank and of the great collection of bears on board.
The only pictures I have of the the weekend are of the boat trip, but take a look at
www.bearhug.net or
www.bearpride.co.uk where I am sure
other pictures will appear shortly. This is going to be a landmark event for
bears every year so make a note of it.

Some of us are not put off by our changeable weather - it's time for shorts already. |

Where did those two buildings on the right come from? They weren't there last time I looked. |

The best view of Tower Bridge is from London Bridge, but this is from the river below it. |
