London day 1

We caught the train from Edinburgh to London, arriving just in time to settle in and have dinner at the hotel restaurant. We’re all a bit tired after a day of travel but we perked up over dinner and a few drinks. We are getting toward the end of our trip. Only these three days in London to go.

I missed going to Harrods last time we were here so that was first on my list today. Millie is going to meet her friend so Marl came with us. Harrods is an eye opener. They really know how to market a brand. We wanted to buy a couple of souvenirs but 15 pounds for a key ring or 20 for a tea towel was a bit much. We settled for a shopping bag at the ridiculous price of 20 pounds but at least it will be useful. Marl bought a very cute pink teddy for the baby as well.

Graham is going to meet a costumer who’s ordered a instrument in Oxford so he left us and went back to the hotel to get organised. We were going to look at what shows were on and buy something for us all to go to tomorrow night. We settled on the lion King but while we were there they had matinee tickets for Sister Act at a great price and we hadn’t really planned anything else that afternoon so we got them as well.

What a great show, we both throughly enjoyed it. We’d had a delicious lunch at The Cambridge on the way to the theatre so only needed a snack for dinner. We couldn’t find much else on offer around the hotel so we settled for the 2 for one cocktails at the bar and a few nibbles.

Millie and her friends and Graham came back in time to join us for a couple of drinks. Sounded like everyone had had a good day.Read more
