London calling.... off to Harrods

No visit to London is without an obligatory visit to Harrods.We had to drive down to London to pick Adam up early Christmas eve morning so we went down the day before and decided to take Christine to Harrods. We drove to Barnett and parked there, taking the undergound. We did consider going to Hemel but knew London Midland that serviced Hemel were suppose to go on strike, they didn't, but were still running reduced services due to the adverse weather conditions. Our decision to go to Barnett was quickly vindacated when we were in at Harrods in next to no time. Su had not been to Harrods since the 80's. Christine and I had never been. The food hall was overwhelming not to mention the numerous well known label bags and clothes. Harrods even sell Lexus although not sure I would want everyone watching me in the front window as I got into the drivers seat, and how do you take a test drive?  Su soon dragged me up to the fourth floor to Pet Kingdom where you can buy dogs, cats, rabbits, weasels, gerbils you name it and it's price you could have it. There was a pet spa that was very much fitted out along human lines. The clothes for pets were unbelievable...three and four hundred pound outfits and they were not one offs!

 

I managed to find my way to the photographic section however they had limited stock but what they did have the prices were competitive. Su and I stopped for coffee whilst I used the Luxury Restroom. My one comment was the store's central heating was far too hot! You dress up for the cold go into the stores and almost boil, no wonder the shop assistants were only in shirts with no jumpers or coats. We met up with Christine after letting her loose in the store than headed to the Princess Diana and Dodi monument within the store. We then decided to catch a bus through London to Green Street Underground before travelling to Barnett and then getting into the car to go onto Hemel Hempstead. Tomorrow we would rise early to make our way on the M25 to Heathrow Terminal 4 to get Su's little baby...Adam. Our only hope was we would not see snow that earlier in the week left Heathrow paralysed.
