Saturday 17th July, London




Had another day rip to London. Early start, up at 5:20am in order to catch the 7:00am train from York.

First stop was Marble Arch so we could look around M&S before it got busy. Then had a walk through Selfridges before getting the tube done to Knightsbridge for a visit to Harrods. Stopped for a cup of tea and then had a wonder round the gift shop and food hall. Had my photo taken with a giant bear - you really don't want to know how much it cost! No time to stop for lunch so we bought something from Harrods bakery and ate it outside in the street (how uncouth!).


Then it was off to the theatre to see Legally Blonde the musical. Good fun but a bit girly for my liking! Went for a Pizza, then it was time to get the train back up north.




Sunday 13th June, Ripley


Went to the Summer Grand Sale at Ripley Castle. Had a good look around but didn't buy much. Bought a ball made out of felt for a young friend but that was about it.
Stopped for a cup of tea and a chat. Also had a baileys cookie which was lovely.
