Hope I don't start singing that
Disney fave
which is always a brain worm ...
BUT
is IS a small world, after all!
Small enough for my short legs to be in the
Eastern Hemisphere
and
Western Hemisphere
at the
SAME TIME!
Sorry.
Couldn't resist.
Mr. has always wanted to go visit
the Prime Meridian.
Zero degree longitude.
The place where time begins.
Or is it where "space" begins.
I'm not really sure.
We went up/down
the Thames for a visit
to Greenwich
to straddle the
PRIME MERIDIAN.
Doesn't it have a much better name
than Stonehenge?
But, back to the point
of "small worldness"
just look
who's coming to London!
and ...
Yep ... Juicy Couture just opened a store.
Anthropologie will in the next few weeks.
With Starbucks and McDonald's
already firmly ensconced,
you can fly 1/2 way around the world
and feel like you are just around the corner
from home.
Well, kinda ...
If THIS
is also in your neighborhood!
Looking at "Big Ben"
through the London Eye.
Now our Brit quiz
for the day.
Category - POTATO(E)S
American fries are ...
Chips!
American chips are ...
Crisps!
American crisps are ...
Heck if I know!
Do we call
ANYTHING
crisps?
We DID see
boxes of Kettle Chips
at Victoria Station.
Wonder if that blows
everyone's minds?
Potato chips from
Salem, Oregon
in London.

Where can you find
Pepsi?
Diet Pepsi to be exact!
No -
not Coke.
Coke is EVERYWHERE.
No Pepsi at the grocery store ...
Not at McDonald's ...
Not at the quickie food mart ....
but found some HERE!
Well,
to be more precise - HERE.
Yep!
The food concessions at
Buckingham Palace.
I KNEW Liz had style!
And I think the
REAL REASON
for all the security
around the Palace
is a national shortage of
PEPSI!!
Tomorrow
we hope to have our
FIRST
of several trips to
different markets
to shop for
antiques
junk
and
just-plain-ol'
"stuff".
Will look for something with
ROSES
to include in the
50th GIVEAWAY.

ReplyDeleteThink you're right about the security around the Pepsi supply at Buckingham Palace! Strange, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOooh, I saw your give-away upclose and personal - and for real - when we were checking on your home in Whoville last evening. I didn't touch (promise I didn't!) but I looked real hard while Esquire Rusty Cat chatted with me!
Have fun thrifting. Can't wait to hear all about it.

I have been hitting great garage sales lately.
Can not get pics fast enough to keep up!!!

Amazing place to visit...would you want to live there??
ReplyDeleteJust been reading all your posts from London. It thrills me to see that you are not only enjoying my country but giving such positive feedback. Usually the folks who complain negatively have not been here.
ReplyDeleteIf you are still here I hope that you continue to enjoy.
