After we spent quite a bit of our day in awe at Westminster, we decided (ok I decided) that what i wanted and wanted now was to go shopping!!! So we headed off towards Piccadilly taking a short cut through St James's Park. (See photos above. It was a beautiful day and standing on the bridge you could see the palace.
From the other side you can see the city in the background!
When we got to Piccadilly, eventually, we had a bit of a wander around and went into a department store. I nearly walked right back out again when i looked at a plain, blue, silk scarf, only to see a price tag of 390 pounds!!!! yep went right out the door again.
It was at this point i checked the map to find i was just down the road from Berkeley Square. Now this won't mean much to many people, but mum, and ange will know that Berkeley Square was a T.V show that we watched about nannies in the 1900's! (great series by the way) And here it is...
We then walked up to Oxford street and had a beer at an expensive little pub called the hog in the pound. After wandering around the shops up there it was about 6:00 at night. I bought some perfume and a cheap watch (i hate not knowing the time) and jumped back on the tube to Victoria for dinner.

Has anyone had Tapas before??? i hadn't.. We found a nice little spanish Tapas restaurant and ordered some yummy/expensive food. We had Paella, eggplant cheese and something, spicy potatoes, a lamb stew, bread and olives and a plate of deep fried seafood.
very yummy.
and here i am the following morning... telling you all about the fantastic things we have done.. Sorry about that... but we are here and you are NOT...he..he..he...
Had better get the lazy boy out of bed as it is 10:00am... and decide what wonderful things to do today.
