Day Eight - London - April 2023

I started the day with a little space planning for our Paris Airbnb hostess, convincing her that she should add comfortable seating for a third person and place the sofa so you don't break you neck watching TV. apparently she likes the idea. Out the door, we went to the Tube station to purchase (Debby) and top up our Oyster Cards (Kris and Dickie). We hopped on the 94 bus and stopped on Oxford Street so the ladies could have a look in Marks & Spencer. I salivated my way through the food halls, then waited outside. We had Afternoon Tea booked at Fortnum and Mason, so we headed to Piccadilly Street. We popped in Cath Kidston, which seems to have reached the end of the road: it's closing. Tea was good and very pleasant, but overpriced for me. I'm glad for the experience, though. We were bursting, so we stayed in and snacked at home. Thanks to Debby for some of these photos.
