As One booked a jail cell at one of the cheaper YHAs in central London, Ours might as well spend the difference in the bookstores, Hamleys and Harrods! Hence the credit card is doing well; thank goodness the NZD to GBP exchange rate is not too unhealthy. Teagan had a great time in Hamleys and One enjoyed the upper floors in Harrods: once One got past the Harrods branded section, One found a fabulous selection of decent (ly overpriced) "must-haves" especially as many items are just not available in Doha: note to darling husband 5.1, an absolutely justified shopping expedition.
Teagan has been enjoying herself. It has been about kid stuff in the morning and napping in the buggy in the afternoon (whilst One hauls sleeping child through the underground in a buggy). I do say; thankgoodness for male chivalry in London. Teagans highlight (well actually she was too tired to get a lot out of it so it was One's highlight) was the Museum of London. I enjoy visiting it everytime I come to London and this year it got even better (5.1, worth a visit for you in September). Of course the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace (not the best vantage point though - summer does draw crowds) was great just as A.A Milne had for Christopher Robin going with Alice.... as it was parroted back to Ours. Methinks, Ours enjoyed it heaps too as I had to drag Grandma away.
P.S Grandma is spending up a bit.... again, One had to drag her out of Harrods!
