At Harrods

The first time I went to Harrods was in June 2011. We were just given less than an hour there just to have a look. We didn't have enough time to even shop. I swore that I would go there again one day. 

So during my previous trip, I had made sure that I shopped in this magnificent Harrods.


Outside Harrods, we spotted taxis of London. See how uniquely painted they are!


Next, we took the train to Oxford Road and we had our dinner at Golden.
Simply scrumptious!

Ok, at Harrods, I bought this wallet for my husband. He reminded me to do so. So I bought it for his birthday.

At Oxford Road, I also bought these few items from Boots which my sister asked me to get for her. She was lucky as the third item was free.

The next day, we went to St Albans for its morning market..

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
