Trip to Hamleys with Joe

We've had guests the past few days.  Ben and Susie all the way from Zimbabwe.  The kids have loved having house guests and considering they've not seen Ben and Susie for a couple of years, they all got on like a house on fire.   On the Monday, we were, um, a little sick, so decided to take that time to catch up with some Christmas shopping and take the kids to Hamleys. 

Lunch in John Lewis for mamas and then total and utter chaos in Hamleys for the kids.  A enormous department store that is actually pretty run down and trading on a name somewhat, and, more importantly, with only ONE toilet for the entirety of London and its tourists.  Interesting.

Still the kids got to ride a bus, play silly buggers in a telephone box, add to their Christmas list by ten fold and skive school.  Happy Christmas kids.
