Boy did it rain..!


I was having a look through the photo's of my little trip to London and thought I would show you what else I did.
Yes that is me, and I do apologise about the horrible grey Jumper, Long story...!
The Chelsea Pensioner was Bill Wright, look at me chatting up the fellas.
After we had seen enough of the show we decided to walk back to our Hotel as it wasn't far and it was a lovely evening.
Some of the shops around Sloane Square had dressed their windows for Chelsea.
This one caught my eye. Mmmm I wonder why?
Nice Pumps

With such Gorgeous houses to nosey at on our way back it was really quite pleasant.

These put my front door to shame.

After having a lovely sleep.
The next day off we went, off out into the rain and boy did it rain.
Max's and I have a thing for sign's.
I spy lots of Brolly's.

Had a wander round the Allsaints shop.
Look at all those Sewing machines.
They were everywhere, all the clothes stands were old pieces of sewing equipment.
Time I think for a nice Cuppa.
Yummy the Hummingbird Bakery.
Not a great piccie.
But the cakes were extremely scrummy.
We checked out the local Ck, sorry didn't buy anything, just got a wallpaper sample, the cowboy one. Thought of putting it on a wall in Max's little games room.
Well he took one look at it, and I was told No...!
In no uncertain terms was I going to put that on the wall. Oh well can't win them all.
That is the problem when they grow up, they start to have their own opinion's.

Well we were worn out now and rather wet, so we popped back to the Hotel, had a quick drink and collected our bags.
Thought my primark's best looked rather nice on the pink chair, so took a snap, I think my sister was concerned at this point when I said I was taking the picture to show my blogger pals, she is not a blogger..!
Right best go now, have to do the daily chores.
I have to use the trades men's entrance don't you know....x

  9. I do love visiting London, I'm sure it's not the same if you live there and have to work there but it just seems so interesting and exciting - what a lot of discoveries you made. Sorry it rained (it did when I went last year in May - we arrived absolutely soaked at a Pizza Express for dinner!) - although I do like that photo of all the umbrellas with those different coloured buildings behind them. xx
