London.

It may surprise you to know that I recently turned 20. Yes I know. I've already cried at my old age. But as a treat, I decided to jaunt to The West End with my wonderful Nana for the weekend. These are my snaps from such occasion. It was the most fun I've had in a long time.

We travelled down to London early Saturday morning and after getting dropped off and changed at the hotel, headed out for some grub. We wandered around Shaftesbury Avenue for a while, till we found Soho and the infamous Windmill. Opposite was a quiant little pub, which served this cracker. It was incredible and I scoffed the whole thing. Yummm.


We then went to see this.It was magnificent. Each actor was so flawless and the set was ingeniously simplistic. Jean Valjean is also  my new ideal man, with his manly ruggedness and heroic nature. He even has a beard. Yes indeed.


The next morning, I acted like the perfect little tourist and went on a walk all around central London. Here's me at Hyde Park. Note: visible is the hole in my tights that my Nana commented on all weekend. Student wage, student clothes. Sorry Nana.


Number 6 constantly surrounds my life and this is another reason. It was a random photo I didn't mean to take. But voila, there it is, on my bus. Freaky.


The flags on every street from the Jubilee made the entire city look so beautiful. For once, I felt patriotic.


Here's me instructing my Nana how to zoom in on my camera sat at Trafalgar Square. Hence the facial expression. Still find this photo really rather quirky. Plus my feet look tiny.


 And here she is, the shining lady that is my Nana. I caught her by surprise, but don't we look good.


 She took me to Covent Garden and said I'd like it. I fell head over heels in love. What an amazing place to be. The atmosphere, performers, even the little market stalls hosting tiny hand made charms and scarves were so unique. We spent most of the morning there, and I'd give anything to go back.


Can't have a tinydotteapot blog without some teapots. This was the shop window of Tea Palace London in Covent Gardens. Decided upon leaving that I now know what my back up dream job should be.


Coming back, I felt really quite sad. I had such fun but two days just wasn't long enough. I loved being in Theatre Land and even had a little day dream that I'd be in those buildings one day, doing what I love the most. I'm 21 in exactly 357 days and watch out London, because I'm coming for you. And I'm bringing friends.
