london town


I went into London for the first time in months on thursday to meet friends from work. Sadly I didn't get to meet everyone but Mrs T and I had lunch in the BIG YELLOW SHOP (Selfridges). Crikey I've missed that shop. Lots of lovely things to stroke and touch, especially in the new shoe dept. AND there's the new Petersham Nursery concession downstairs..........mmmmmm!
It was odd going into London again after such a long time. I picked up a rather chewed looking free newspaper and read all the 'sensational' gossip. Got off at Euston and on the number 18 bus, which is no longer a bendy flavour but a double decker (must have got wise to the fact no-one pays on the bendy buses). As we tootled down Marylebone Road, two men in inflatable sumo suits walked out of UCH hospital........ah yes London, you just don't get that in Berko!

    Spooks! I ended up in the self same lovely store last week (had to drop Master J off at Regents Park to meet friends, so had a few hours to kill. Took a stroll along Marylebone High St (via Conran etc.etc.) Remembered our many lunchtime trips down to Oxford Street. Loved going back in to Selfridges, all those 'beautiful' ladies trying to attack me with perfume and hair straighteners - nearly tempted by the feet-nibbling fish though! 'Petersham Nurseries' also 'Pedlars' so lovely (desperately tried not to spend), not to mention confectionery and stationery!! W x

    Oh I do love a trip around Selfridges. Pedlars, Petersham, shoes, candles and choc, what more could a girl ask for....... remember all those years ago when Marylebone high st had nothing to offer Wend? Cullens for a jacket potato at lunch time......
