Million. Women. Rise. 2009

We mustered and we waited.

It took ages to get going but while we waited the numbers and noise just grew and grew.

We were about in the middle and it was HUGE!

There were rather a lot of women, marching, singing, shouting and generally being very very obvious through central London, which we brought to a complete standstill and we clearly made for excellent pictures….

We blocked roads and brought everything to a complete standstill for hours.

The roads were closed.

We took up loads of police time!

Several days later we reached the rally… Well it felt like several days, it was a couple of hours of stop start walking, shouting and banner waving and I still hurt!

But you know what? I reckon I’ll be there again next time, possibly sooner if I can at other marches and rallies.
