Jamie had to get a plane at 7.45ish and mine was 9ish so we got up at 6 and left to hotel in a taxi by 6.30. I felt so rough. Got to the airport far too early and slept for a while. Went over to check in and met Isabelle who was on the same flight. It was nice to sit with someone on the way back. We arrived in Gatwick and went to get the train but they kept announcing there were power surges on the tube so it was shut. We didn’t have far to walk when we got to Victoria so I figured it was fine. We got on the train into central London and by the time we got there, someone had said that bombs had gone off. Shortly after we arrived, they shut Victoria station. It was 10am now and I was so hungry, we just went to Burger King. People were trying to contact us but we had no idea what was going on really and the phone networks had gone down. Isabelle walked to her hotel and I went down to our office in Victoria so I could use the phone. I looked a right state and had to meet my Board Director and see the Chief Executive!!! Talked to our press office and finally realised the scale of what had happened so I phoned Dan and told him I was OK. He had been very worried. I then started panicking about Jamie- the last I heard from her is that she was on a bus to Russell Square and a bomb had gone off in a bus going to Russell Square. Turned out later that she had been asleep in a hotel the whole time! All my friends were travelling down to London that day so I went on Queenonline and said I was ok. Checked to see if everyone else was ok and a lot of the people travelling had already turned back to go home. Queen didn’t know what was going to happen with Hyde Park so I figured it would be cancelled. About 2.30, our building got evacuated so I gave up and walked to Hyde Park to see if I could find out what was happening. Spoke to a security guard who said it had been postponed until next week then about 10 mins later I had a phone call from Vern to tell me that Queen had officially announced that so I then walked to Paddington where luckily the trains had started again. They let me use my apex ticket and I was so relieved to get home.
