Something quite awesome happened out on my trundle this afternoon. The skies above London are notoriously busy, with planes and helicopters flying around almost constantly. Well, I was near Lewisham trying to follow the Thames west for a bit, when I started to hear a helicopter overhead. I thought little of it at first, but it persisted, so I looked up to see it was a London Air Ambulance. As I continued my walk I noticed it getting lower and lower, seeming to circle the area I was in. Pretty soon it grew very loud indeed: it was obviously landing very close by. Remarkably, I came upon a park just in time to watch the huge red helicopter touch down on the grass and the crew get out. It made my jaw drop. I knew they were attending an emergency and that someone nearby obviously needed help, but to see such an awesome, spectacular sight so suddenly and unexpectedly felt like a real treat. This city will always have the potential to surprise me.
