Mum and I went to Kensington, Knightsbridge and Oxford Street yesterday to check out the Christmas lights and window displays.
I discovered two rather original Chrismas pressies in Harrods:
1. A silver vegemite lid. Cost: £95. Yes, you read that correctly. What the?!!
2. A four wheel drive car for kids. Cost: £21,995. For a fiver more you could of course buy an adult size Ferrari with only 30,000 miles on the clock - but what would be the fun in that?
After exploring Harrods, we walked down Oxford Street. Nice lights.
I particularly liked the look of Carnaby Street.
The Wedgewood china-tree was pretty cool too.
Ended my day at a Christmas Carol concert in Richmond with Dad and Heather. The kids got up and sung 'Away in a manger' beautifully (they'd be bribed with chocolate buttons). I think Away in a manger and a guy playing a 'Hurly Burly' (medieval instrument) with pipe were the highlights of the concert for me. Plus of course the mince pies in the interval. Very, very British!
