LONDON. The little lady had an inset day at school so we decided to take the opportunity to have a girly day out as Sam was at playgroup in the morning and with Nanny Maureen in the afternoon. We left after dropping Sam off and caught the train, upon reaching London we went over to the Science Musuem. We are not only very lucky to have stunning beautiful buildings but these buildings contain such fantastic things and all free to see. I havent been to the musuem since I was young so both Daisy and I were walking around saying 'Wow'. It has loads to see, in fact too much in a day and in some ways I would like to go without the children as there is so much to learn by reading what all the things are about. As Daisy recently worked on a project about Space at school we spent quite a lot of time in this area.
After the Science Musuem we popped our heads into the entrance of the Natural History Musuem next door to see the rather small, NOT dinosaur in the stunning foyer. We then walked along to Harrods and admired the Christmas windows before going in through the food hall (amazing, I wish I could do my weekly shopping there) until we came to the ice-cream bar. Daisy asked last time we were there if we could have ice-cream but we didnt have time so this was a real treat. Daisy ordered a 'Leonardo de vinci childrens plate' this had three flavours that she could choose which was chocolate, vanilla and mint served with wafers, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Now at £10 this was a real treat and guess what the little lady that lovvveeesss ice-cream didn't like it!! Anyway I enjoyed my cream tea and at least she has had ice-cream at Harrods and we know not to go again!!
After our ice cream we headed up to the 3rd floor to see the Christmas decorations, early I know but I don't think we will be going to Harrods before Christmas and as we were there. Thank goodness we did as it was lovely and we had a lovely surprise, Harrods is celebrating 70 years with the Wizard of Oz and they had a Ruby Slipper Boudoir which was done out lovely, my photos do not do it justice. Anyway they were selling limited edition red ruby slippers and as my little lady loves a bit of sparkle we couldn't say no, she was served by her very own Dorothy and walked away with her very own limited edition pair. When I say walked away it was more dragged away as they were playing the movie on a large screen and the sofas were rather comfy.
We left Harrods and headed home as it was a long day and we were both feeling quite tired. Sammy boy had been looked after by Nanny Maureen after playgroup so a big THANK YOU to Nanny, they had a lovely afternoon. The little people had some suppa at Nanny's before coming home to see Daddy, having lots of cuddles and then much needed sleep.
