Shopping with Tania Turner, Lunch @ Selfridges and Siobhan's Big Day Out

Welcome shoppers to our last day in London.

We popped over to Bett's place to see her nice security team swap shifts but alas due the pouring rain.... No surprises there folks, the Changing the Guard was cancelled - possibly because they don't want to get their nice furry hats all manky and wet.

So back on the Underground and off to Oxford street to check out the shops. On the train was a Tania Turner look-alike. For those of you not familiar with "Tan" just google images of Tania Turner Footballers Wives and you will quickly get the idea. This woman had the worst case of tanarexia we have ever seen. No kidding she was oompa loompa orange. She teamed this skin colour with a lovely shade of white bleach blonde for her hair and she sported a set of talons that the British Olympic Team could easily use as swords in the fencing at next year's events.

She completed the outfit with way too tight trousers in a grey and slate blue animal print with a matching too short bolero jacket and accessorized with a bulging muffin top and lots of silver bling on everything! We wanted to just follow her but decided to head down Oxford street instead.  oh and did I mention, she was on the wrong side of 50 by a fair way !

We perused the shops in search of worthwhile items. Lots of usual stuff and some good bargains in the way of fine merino wool jumpers and some jeans for Siobhan. The street was a virtual river of people flowing up and down this shopping Mecca.

On the recommendation of Chad we headed to Selfridges. We needed a break so it was to Selfridges we headed for a lovely lunch of minted pea soup with goats cheese followed by a wonderful chicken salad with Burford Brown Egg Mayonnaise served with a fabulous French wine that we couldn't  pronounce the name of. More shopping followed in the afternoon which turned into late evening by which time we were pooped. A couple of restorative wines at a pub kept us going a while longer but soon we had to pack it in and pack it up in readiness for the train to Paris the next morning.


Also a special call out to the newly weds Pauline and Rob. Hope you enjoyed or have enjoyed your wedding celebrations with friends and family. Looking forward to hearing all about it when we get back.
So its cheerio from beautiful London and Bonjour tomorrow from Paris
