And all the men and women merely players

It looks as though we’re going to have good weather for the weekend so it is time to go out and enjoy it. But first you can bring a bit of drama to your life.

Car booty

I love a good car boot sale and the South Bank Classic Car Boot sale looks like a good sale with a vintage twist. Stall holders trade from the back of their vintage cars. There will also be a display of classic cars, street food wagons and impromptu street theatre. You can buy vintage clothes, accessories and homeware of just browse and enjoy the trendy retro atmosphere.

The mayor of London’s celebrations start with a parade down Picadilly followed by activities in Trafalgar Square for all the family. The theme of this year’s parade is ‘World of Dance’ and there will be a special performance of Riverdance on the main stage, to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
