Wednesday 4 July

Anne - over to you again

Today I headed to Oxford Street again - but with a mission, I wanted to crash an auction at Sothebys. So with a slightly better state of dress and a determined attitude a followed the distinguished looking ladies and gentlemen who had just been dropped of by their chaffeur driven Bentleys up to the auction room. The place was very fully so a stood down the back and for an hour watched 10's of thousands of £'s being bidded for old masters drawings. The highest price was for a Reubens that went for £30,000. I then went round the corner to Hamleys - 4 floors of toy store. Lots of fun with all sorts of toys being demonstrated by very enthusiastic sales assistants. Spent about an hour deciding to buy a rather georgeous collectable teddy bear. Finished off the other end of Oxford Street, and then managed to time it just right so i had a bus full of school kids on the way home.
