A few days ago, Mummy’s friend Kristina came round. We went to the Christmas market in St. Albans and we went in the cathedral – it was HUGE.
A couple days went by when Tilly suddenly started to have a very sore throat and found it hard to breathe. The next day she was sick 🙁 On the first or second day she had it (I can’t remember which one) Mummy, Kristina and I went to London, but Tilly stayed at home with Andy.
First, we all had some lunch – tasty lunch. We all had some kind of sushi and fish. In mine and Mummy’s box (we shared) there was sushi, beans, wasabi to dip the sushi in (I’m not much of a fan of spice, so I didn’t have any of that) and I think there was also ginger or something like that. There was also this rice-ball thing wrapped up in a pastry-like-thing (I can’t remember the name of that).
After our sushi, we went to the museum (not the science one, the other one…I can’t remember the name of that, either). Me and Kristina went to look at the wedding dresses and Mummy went to the ‘Disobedient Objects’ part.
Have you heard of Kate Moss? Well, if you haven’t, she’s a famous model. And guess what? I saw her exact wedding dress! It had jewels all over it. I liked the ‘Flowerbomb’ one too. That was drawn by (I think) Ian something. And I liked this red and black one. It was like a short dress, made of red silky-stuff with a black felty-like belt on it. I also liked this Indian-kind one, which may have been Indian may have not. It was mainly red and gold, with a red head-band thing with a gold jewel-like-thing hanging off it. I really liked that one – red, gold and India is me!
At the top of the stairs (still in the wedding area) there was a huge, purple and black dress. Me and Kristina really liked that dress. There was also this other dress downstairs where it was just so wide it probably couldn’t get through a door! It was like two metres wide and very short. A lot of the dresses were from about 200-300 years ago. They were the short ones. There was this ten-year-old girl’s bride maid’s dress, and she was tiny, especially in saying she was just one year younger than Tilly, and the girl was like my height!
After the museum, we went to Covernt Garden. There we saw a huge model of a reindeer covered in Christmas lights and the ceiling had huge baubles hung from it. We walked along a big bridge and saw the pretty view. Then we went down some stairs and found ourselves in a Christmas market. (Well, we knew the market was there, of course, so don’t just randomly go to London in the middle of summer and hope to find a big Christmas market waiting for you.)
I went on a Merry-Go-Round for maybe once in my life 😉 Can you spot me riding Elliot the horse?
We had some dinner from these little huts. Mummy had paella, Kristina had this Greek Grill-thing and I had this spicy egg wrap. It was ‘Indian Street Food’. It was tasty-wasty (it didn’t actually waste any money, it was delicious)! The man who made it seemed very surprised that I wanted a spicy egg wrap, and he was so nice he showed us how to do it. It was like an omelette wrapped up in a pancake. Yoo-hoo! Eggy pancake!
