Day 1 in London

One of the things I really wanted to do in London was to visit Harrod’s. Millie is going to meet her friend, Jacinta so I’m going off with Karry and Graham and first stop is Harrods. 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. I also bought a cute pink teddy for little Maya who will be arriving just after we get home.

Graham is going to meet a costumer who’s ordered an instrument in Oxford so he left us and went back to the hotel to get organised. We went to Piccadilly Circus to see what shows were on and buy tickets 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. We hadn’t really planned anything else that afternoon so Karry and I 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 1 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. Everyone had a great day.Read more
