We met Angela at Brighton and had lunch on the train, Sam was very excited about going on the train and got to see lots of other trains which made his day. Once we reached London we went to Fortnum and Mason to get a couple of Christmas presents and then we started out mammoth walk (Daisy was great and kept up all the way and didnt moan once) ... first it was Piccadily Circus to see the flash boards, then up Regent Street admiring the lights and windows of Hamleys (and of course taking a quick look in Hamleys). Then on to Oxford Circus and down Oxford Street to Marble Arh where we popped in a couple of shops and admired the lights and windows of Selfridges.
We then got a bus at Marble Arch to Knightsbridge as we had a 6pm slot booked for Father Christmas at Harrods, last year we did the same at Selfridges and it as brillant. Harrods were advertising it as 100yrs of Father Christmas and unfortunately the whole thing was rather cheap and disappointing!! The Father Christmas we saw was about 25 and had no idea how to be FC, Sam and Daisy would not go near him which is unsual as all the others they have seen they would! Anyway they had a good time and scored a book and badge each. We then walked through Hyde Park as they had a winter wonderland which was mainly a fair and some eating stalls. Our last route was back to Victoria Station where we stopped and had dinner before heading home on the train.
