The letter "H" song

Many things begin with H especially in London, for example, Harrods. And that is where I found myself just to see what all the fuss was about. Must admit I was motivated if only because Michelle from UWLM and I had spent last Christmas season commenting on the amazing Harrods Christmas hampers. These are no ordinary hampers, oh no, you can spend 20000 pounds on a Christmas hamper, which begs the question why? 

After walking through most of the main floor and some of the second, there isn't anything clothing/fashion wise that I would bother with but the multiple rooms which make up their food floor is amazing! There's a room that's just chocolate, confections and teas/coffees, there's pastries, theres meats and charcuterie and cheeses and each room is full done up in a different theme. Harrods knows how to do presentation.

I would be curious to know how many people truly buy something here as there were hundreds of tourists.

A small Harrods hamper but with Batgirl as a bonus .... priceless.

Afterwards I walked back through Knightsbridge and headed towards Buckingham Palace. A lovely walk but again crawling with tourists, not too unexpected since school hadn't gone in yet.

My BFF was home but she had a lot of visitors, I'll stop by for tea another time.

H is also for humbugs, I might have scared the sales lady at Harrods when I got very excited they had proper humbugs.

I've really enjoyed having an opportunity to do brief jaunts throughout the city while getting the basics settled, well almost settled because the other word that begins with H is hell, as in trying-to-find-a-flat hell. Or how can a bank not just give me a bankcard hell?
