London calling

Only two nights in London – what was I thinking? Obviously I must be mad. I couldn’t possibly hope to shop all of London in just two days! It’s hard to believe there’s an economic crisis on with the number of people in London. I did my best to boost the economy but I’m fast running out of luggage space, and I do have to save my last hurrah for Paris – and at the very least I need a new hat. Not sure I actually have any money left, but that’s what credit card debt is for. I *really* need a job fast when I get back home.

Now let’s see… there must have been something else to do in London besides shopping.  Well, we did make it to the Tower of London and got to see the hilarious Yeoman Warden of YouTube infamy.  I’m not sure why he looked at me when he was talking about women always wanting the last word? The Tate Modern was pretty awesome and chipped into shopping time in a big way. I am inspired to create something arty when we eventually buy our villa in the south of France.

The surprise of the trip though was Chris actively wanting to see a musical. Mind you, it was Blood Brothers (no happy ending here) and apart from a few well restrained sobs from me, it was very good indeed.

I feel like we’ve now visited every pub in England. I think it’s probably a good thing we don’t live in London because I’d always be shopping and Chris would always be at the pub. I would however be very well dressed when I came down to the pub to drag him home 🙂

  1. Glad to hear you are both enjoying London – however my favourite city is Paris so save some time for the delights of Paris!
    Everything is going along swimmingly [except for Emma’s sunburn] We are going to the Sunflower Village restaurant for Chinese New Year on Tuesday 24th January. We have a table for 12 and growing all the time!
    The twins and Nick and Brooke have gone to Melbourne for a wedding [Bruce’s niece]. They flew business class which was a good idea. We will pick them up from the airport on Friday.
    Lots of love.
    Mum and Dad
