We went to the new Starbucks! Had the scone and ginger/rhubarb jam we bought last night at Marks & Spencers.

We walked and walked today, past Hyde Park, to Oxford Circle - saw the Marble Arch - and then to Regent Street ending up at Piccadilly Circus. We shopped at TopShop, Selfridges, Debenham's and Liberty. This was my first time visiting Liberty's - it's a beautiful store. Bought myself four wee hankies made from their lovely printed fabric. The we walked around the West End where the shows are - saw the theatres where 'Mousetrap', 'Spamalot' and 'Mary Poppins' are playing.

Also saw the Ivy Restaurant.

And did I mention there's millions of people walking the streets of London - we held on to each other because you could lose someone in a heartbeat! Poof they're gone!

Sat for awhile at the statue at Piccadilly Circus - then took the Tube to the Bayswater area. Had a Strongbow and a jacket potato with Red Cabbage Slaw and Cheddar Cheese at the Redan Pub. Then we walked around some more - got back to our hotel around 8:30. My feet are aching!

Oh yes, last night - there was a thunderstorm!!
