August 29, 200817 yr Look where I went today :) No sign of them obviously but we spent a good 20 minutes having a good look... at one point a ginger bloke rolled up and collected a couple of guitars, and he had a laugh at my friend and I writing a little note and putting it through the letterbox :laugh3: We had visions of him turning out to be Roadie #42 and blogging about us in his next instalment hehe :) Had a quick glance of the inside as he opened the door and saw one of those big red "Recording" signs that light up when they're in the studio. There was a car outside, too, and as we were walking past we noticed a single orange paper butterfly inside :D We then went and had a look at Violet Hill and Abbey Road Studios. Disappointed that the Purple Bistro was closed though.
August 29, 200817 yr Hehe it said Coldplay, With the help of the purple cafe, we found your bakery! We're not stalking you, we just love you. Promise! :D We're half hoping you will walk round the corner any second now, but you probably won't (definitely haven't if we have got round to posting this!) Thankyou for the confetti butterflies, the music and the lyrics. Beth and Charlotte :) x It will probably get thrown out but we thought it was worth a try. Shame we'll never know if they read it.
August 29, 200817 yr Aww thats great to put in a letter hey, very nice and concise and not obsessive fan like! :)
August 29, 200817 yr Yeah that's what we tried to do... no "we'll be back to find you" type stuff lol

August 29, 200817 yr Indeed :P I wonder where/if they are rehearsing for tomorrow right now .. :rolleyes:
August 29, 200817 yr Lol yeah... that crossed our minds too, we were like "if only we waited all day, we might bump into them..." But then again we might not have done xD

August 29, 200817 yr Lucky you, BethWhalley! I'd wish I could go there. :smug2: It seems that you got a little more out of the visit than some of the other bakery visitors.

Disappointed that the Purple Bistro was closed though. By ginger bloke, do you mean he had red hair? That could have been Hoppy, one of their roadies. This is Hoppy on the far right: Is that who you saw? .

Oh my gosh yes, I'm pretty sure that was him! Arggghh why didn't we say anything to him? I'm quite annoyed with myself you know :/

That's a lovely note!!! I'm sure the guys shared a couple of smiles after reading that!!! Sounds like you actually had a nice time just being there..... it must be a great feeling just to stand outside that building!!! And your pics are really nice!!! :)
October 2, 200817 yr Great story Beth !! and here's where I also went two weeks ago: The Bakery, right in front of me!! I was in London for the weekend, and I could not miss the opportunity to see the place! ;) That was kind of strange to be there (in a good way though ;) I stayed a little while to take pictures and then I walk about the neighbourhood, and it's quite nice! as the guys are on tour, the place was vey quiet, and the window blind was shut. As I was able to come close to the door. That's a nice feeling to be just in front of the building where all the magic of Coldplay happens! but at the same time it's a little surreal! I even left a note that I put in the mail box :P I don't know if they'll ever read it, but who knows? I'm sure Beth will agree that it's worh a try! :lol:
