The Ridiculous to the Sublime





Wednesday night we had Rock and Sole Fish & Chips - yummy.  We had to "mind the step" even to the Loo! On Thursday, we went to Harrods (the ridiculous).  At first, we were trailing the Wellands on what felt like a road rally.  "We're in Pet Kingdom, on our way to Denim," texts Al.  "We're in Pet Kingdom now, we're oh so close to you," texts Elaine...and so on and so on. 3 hours of viewing the most ridiculously priced items. Look, it's Elton John's red player piano! And Howard purchased a 4 mil year old nautiloid for $999,999, but when they said it would cost $100 to ship, he politely passed.    On to the sublime, Hyde Park, so lovely. And finally, a BBQ with friends. James, Lydia, Maximilian and Luciana opened their home and hearts to us all. The food was superb. We had a Pims or 2 or in some cases 3....slept until 11:44 the next morn. Watch out Africa, here we come! Love to you all....

  2. I am loving the pictures. How great for you all. I feel like I'm right there with you. And although we miss you guys, I couldn't think of a greater way to express all the good things in life than to take it by the "#*@" and live it to the fullest. Going to the Center now and I'll probably mention you all to the congregation. Love you.

  3. What an awesome trip you guys are on!!! How exciting! We will be in LA until at least the 12th - let's get together before we head back up the hill. Can't wait to hear first hand how your trip was, and we have news to tell as well.

    Be safe & have a wonderful, wonderful time!
    Much love,
    Margaret & Ken

  4. This is amazing. What's up with the steps and the gaps and the signage? These people obviously need more accident litigators.
