Day 25
We were so excited about being with family in London that we didn’t really give much thought to what we wanted to do and see. We did want a shopping day, to stock up on clothes for the sea voyage home, but nothing else was fixed in our minds.
Gray’s cousin suggested we have a day in the city and we are so glad we did.
In Hamleys we were intrigued to observe parents and grandparents with young children who were excitedly and haphazardly searching for their ‘favourite thing’ and remembered over 30 years ago when we’d caught a train into London with 3 enthusiastic lads, pocket money burning holes in their pockets, determined to have a great spend up.
It was wonderful to see that this great toyshop still allures young spenders.
