The minute you walked in the joint....

The only trouble with a hire car is that you have to give it back somehow... and with petrol .... unfortunately after getting lost and finding three petrol stations... all of which were closed...I found myself car-less and in Ldodgy old Lewisham.... what else could i do but......(altogether now).... shop!!

Exhausting as this was i took i break before we dolled ourselves up and headed out ot my favourite meal of my life... dinner at Gordon Ramsay's restuarant... Claridges!! Dinner for two was more than a weeks worth of wages, and although i justified it with the "this is a once in a lifetime experience" I must confess... all i want to do is go again. To say the food was magnificent is an understatement.... it was a meal i will never forget and would recommend to all foodies!!



Me outside Claridges.... Full as!!!!!

Wednesday found me let loose in London as i tried to knock off all the "London must sees" that were still undone.

Starting with changing of the guard.... although my sleep in was costly, and i discovered a few people had the same idea bout how to spend their day.....


I soon discovered the sneaky trick to it all though as the gates were kept clear by "the old bill" who were ushering people to "move along" as they passed the gates. So camera at the ready.... I did the shuffle past the gates....

Appropriately the band was playing big spender at this point, and i reminisced about dinner the night before. Ater changing of the guards I headed round to the Royal Mews, and although most of the Royal ponies were on their Royal holiday, an unlucky couple had been left behind to entertain the tourists..... poor ponies.....
Although with stables like these.... I'm not sure my ponies would have much sympathy for them...


I headed off for a walk towards Trafalgar Square... past the arches...


And found the mad pidgeons.... I decided tuppence a bag wasn't worth the horror....
I further discovered that Maccas tasted like Rubbish, and promptly threw out my lunch!! Before winding up lost in the xxx area of Soho.... a little scared and all alone... i headed towards a policeman and followed him out of the area, before finally finding my way back to Leicester Square to pick up cheap tickets for a show that night. We saw "wicked" the story of the wizard of Oz but told from the perspective of the witches.... absolutely awesome, and would highly recommend to any Oz fans.... the better you know the original the more you will get out of it.
Once again... jump on a packed tube and crawl into bed....
