We decided it was time we finally made the trip to the world renowned department store, Harrods. To be honest we didn't know what all the fuss what about. Sure there was some expensive things you could buy there but it didn't seem to be much flasher than loads of other department stores in London (none that we can afford to shop at of course...).
During the week we were able to celebrate Jess getting herself her second contract. Great news as it will keep the pounds coming in so that we can stay here. We celebrated with a trip to Battersea Park along with some tasty picnic food and champagne...the real deal isn't quite as expensive here...It was this week that the heatwave kicked in too so it was great weather to be out and about picnicing.
As the weekend came along we headed down to Clapham Common with Robin, Mary and Ralph who was visit
The next week was a good opportunity to enjoy the outdoor weather although those tub
Unfortunately the weather didn't stay as hot so we stayed home over the week, but come the weekend it was looking good again so we went down to Battersea Park for Bastille day celebrations. We had high hopes for french wine, pastries and other curiosities. Unfortunately the celebration was only small, but the attendance was big. Lines to buy food and drink were really long so after spending over an hour lining up we weren't particularly excited about Bastille day anymore.
We decided to make the most of the week again and enjoyed ourselves with a picnic in Hyde Park which we still haven't even scratched the surface of and a trip to the National Gallery to get cultured. There was plenty of art to take in and our previous lessons were to take it in manageable chunks.
