wonderful day with the bear

had a very memorable and amazing day in london yesterday.Joined lots of others in victoria tower park in the shadow of the houses of parliament , all anticipating seeing this amazing bear!.We all walked across Lambeth bridge ,flags and masks and excitement very obvious,then we heard a roar and we could see this huge bear surrounded by people in the distance.It was quite emotional as she really portrayed the sadness and desperation that we all feel about the plight of the animals,....but she also had so many people around her it did bring tears to my eyes that we were being active,all very symbolic and powerful.She made her way slowly towards us, to much applause , and the procession slowly made its way.When we had reached our destination at Shell HQ we were treated to 2 women from the northern terroritories who very eloquently spoke of the arctic where they live.We were all rouse to roar at the massive building looming over us !.Some of us then felt inspired to cross the threshold that shell has legally created around itself by drawing our foot prints in chalk on their front step.
