Afternoon Tea at Harrod's

Today we had afternoon tea at Harrod's. After we sat down, the little girls decided they would rather go shopping at the big sale than sit in the restaurant and wait for the moms to drink tea and eat tiny sandwich triangles. The girl's opted at the last minute to have hot chocolate instead of tea - but they enjoyed every last drop. We had a very nice time and ended our day with a hectic walk through some of the floors shopping for trinkets and toys. It was overwhelming - I had only ever walked on the ground floor and lower floor, so exploring all over the store was mind boggling - especially on the first day of their biannual sale. It was CRAZY! good deals to be had though. From what I have witnessed, sales only happen in England during January and June/July - unlike the States where Macy's runs a Big Apple sale every month. Every single store is having a sale right now. Unfortunately with the pound/dollar conversion, even with 50% off, that still just takes it down to what it costs full price in the States. I guess that's better than nothin'. Better get my growing son into the store to buy him some shoes and trousers!!! The only thing he has requested though is new socks. You know it's pretty bad when your son has to actually ask you to go buy him new socks. really. It just made me laugh.
