Once we had given ALL our weary feet a break, we made our way to Hyde Park Corner and caught a crowded 74 bus along Park Lane to Marble Arch. There Brady and Jim learned the meaning of the word "crowded." Oxford Street was so congested that I suggested we should have brought elbow pads. Jim and Brady both declined the offer to have a wander through Selfridges. I am sure it was because both feared that they would never get to move around for lack of space.
We planned to head down Oxford Street, cutting through to Bond Street and ending up at Carnaby Street so we could enjoy the Christmas lights. However, until we got off Oxford Street the only sights Brady and Jim caught were the backs of other people's heads and the back of Dawn and me disappearing into another crowd.
With empty stomachs we searched for somewhere to eat and thankfully found the Slug and Lettuce on the corner of Hanover Street and Regent Street. There I enjoyed some much needed fish and chips (again) while the others downed chicken wraps. Brady and Jim also enjoyed a surprise that we'd been waiting to spill on them for weeks. We'd bought four tickets for the Sound of Music at the London Palladium for tonight.
