Belgium Shopping


Displays of wooden clogs. . . .


To rows of lace making shops. . . .


Tapestries of various designs for sale,
 or even buy the panels to make your own cushions etc. . . .



A very wide choice of commercial or handmade lace,
beautiful & intricate. . . .


An apetite for Belgium chocolates,
 to tempt anyones palate. . . .



With taste in mind, plenty of Belgium Beer to sample. . . .


Besides the relaxing meal of a cheese fondue. . . .


Much else to see,
but one of the biggest surprises,
an all year Christmas shop. . . .

London for Shops




During this pass week, I have travelled to London twice.
The first time, was last Tuesday  to have a look around the shops.
If you're going to the shops in London, then Harrods is definitely worth a look,
so much to see although many price tags are certainly far too expensive for the average person to consider.
Although I'm not ordinarily a person to collect soft toys, I do have a growing collection of Teddy Bears, all of which are from Harrods only.
The one I bought this time, is a medium size Christmas Bear for 2009, entitled 'Rufus'.





One place not to miss in Harrods, is the Food Hall.
Absolute Yum!
Wish I had taken more photos,
 but certainly couldn't resist taking the one above,
 which is a cake with a price tag of £4999.00.
A staggering amount.
But there was far more affordable food,
 which covered a vast range from cheeses, cold meats to chocolates,
cakes & biscuits, besides much more.
The panels of stained glass on the some of the ceilings are absolutely beautiful,
besides other aspects of the store,






It rained all day!
Such a shame, but we visited Kensington, Oxford Circus,
Regent Street & Piccadilly.
Fortunate enough to get a photo of some of the Christmas lights,
but only because I sheltered in a doorway!

All the Christmas shopping finally finished.
Final preparations to complete, but looking forward to the break.

Shop Till You Drop!!!





Managed to spend an enjoyable day with my daughter today,
 visiting the shopping mall at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol.
This is about a 45 minute drive away travelling by the motorway.
The shopping complex is situated over two floors,
which was very festive with an abundance of huge
Christmas decorations with its wealth of lights was stunning.
Very festive.
Enjoyed some good retail therapy,
enabling us to nearly buy all the gifts for our family & friends.
