Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!!

We made it! We celebrated our Ruby (40th) wedding anniversary on 11th December 2008. It was a beautiful, cold but sunny day and we drove to London where we had tea at the Ritz Hotel. It was very nice indeed. Here is the Christmas tree in the foyer, where we were only supposed to take photos. However...after I had had a little word with the manager of the Palm Bay Court (tea area), he did say, whilst he wouldn't be allowed to take photos himself, he would 'turn a blind eye' so to speak if we wanted to take photos ourselves! A very nice man! Well, I had my Sony with me so wasn't going to make it obvious, so my husband took video of us and I am hoping he will be able to take stills from them. Check here for more pics at a later date.

We strolled along to the tube and had a wander in Harrods.
Then, after a little chat with a lady in the 'boudoir', I got info that there was a German market and ice rink in Hyde Park....so off we trotted and it was FAB.

Yes, I know it's hard to tell which one is Santa! LOL.
It was just as well I was full from hot chocolate, chamomile tea, sandwiches, apple and raisin scones with clotted cream and strawberry conserve, little fancy cakes and Christmas cake....as I would have liked one of these....mmm.
That was no tiny pot of nutella ...it was HUGE...probably a 1kilo tub.

Guess who I got to meet....oh, he was soo cute. He let me 'jump' the queue! LOL. I felt like a little girl all over again....and he gave me chocolates!

Part ll tomorrow folks....check in then.

Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.

Toots for now.
