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?
