London, oh my dear London!


Many of you know about my love for the UK, hell it even stands in my description box. *gg* So I was more than happy when my husband surprised me with a short trip to London.

We went this weekend and I loved it. I think about making a "What to do" and "Tips for London" post, by now I've been often enough. *gg*

A few things that haven't changed. I still heard more French than English, Asian tourists are everywhere and my beautiful Big Ben is as lovely as ever. I was so happy to see him again, I couldn't stop smiling.

Of course we went through all sorts of shops, but with the exception of The British Museum, we didn't go anywhere touristy. Here some photos, we didn't take that many.







My husband started to drink tea a while back, so we simply had to pay the original and first Twinings store a visit.




Near Big Ben we found this little diner called "herman ze german". It's obviously founded by a German and you can get Currywurst and Brezels there. 

I loved the little place. I didn't get anything, but my husband loved his sausage and I find the idea sooo cute. The whole logo and look of the store and the German products. I almost bought a shirt. lol

I was a bit sad though that nobody there was actually able to speak German. *g* At least not in this shift. 






It was a great, but exhausting wekend, we walked around a LOT. *g* The short visit eased my longing for this country, but there's only one place who can really do that. Scotland!

I can't wait to go there again. I hope I'll see the Highlands soon, Since I started watching Outlander it only got worse. *gg* My plan is to be there next summer again.

I'm gonna show you what I bought there in my next post. :-) A lot of gorgeous stuff. One sneak peek and my favourite item:


What's your favourite part in this world??

Love,

I'm back from London!

We came back on Tuesday night, but the week was so stressful, I didn't find time to write something proper. But I'm happy and proud to say that I did and pass my last Steop exam, the one I've been avoiding for two years!

I'm gonna show you some, well.. a ton of pics from London and in the next post my haul. :-)

The first day was full of sun..


I never took cheesy photos, so I did this time.



We went to Hamleys which is a five storey high toy store, simply incredible! They did a show before opening, I wanted to cuddle that bear so much.. *gg*


Full of amazing stuff, I could have bought a ton of items. Especially this, but 250 pounds was a bit much:







See the sign, they are already counting til it's christmas, so adorable..



Even the royal family was there:



I could have been in there all day.. Sadly, Flo didn't like that *gg*


Heaven




M&M World, which is new and as cool as the one in New York:






Breaking Dawn was everywhere!



London at night, lovely:






I love the ads in London, they always have the coolest. 



Finally, I need to show you some photos of my favorite place in London, The London Aquarium. If you visit London, you must go there!







This is my favorite food in the UK, I eat it everytime we visit:


For the finale, something fun :-)



London and I will be seeing each other soon, but definitely without my fiancée. *gg* Half the time he was waiting in front of drugstores or Primark, he wasn't that happy about it. 

I was a very good girl shoppingwise. I will show you next.

Love,
Guinevere
