Let the shopping begin! It's Boxing Day in England and that means sales - but of course you have to battle the crowds in search of bargains. Photo of double-decker bus full of bears at Harrod's, London.
An interior vignette at Leon's, a great new lunch place in Knightsbridge, London. The organic restaurant serves healthy good food, such as grilled chicken wraps, sweet potato falafel, fresh salads, etc. for reasonable prices, in a comfortable atmosphere.
I've only been to London once, and we stayed in Knightsbridge. Some day we'll return and lunch at Leon's....a restaurant that shares my late father-in-law's name. Love the photos! K.

maybe one day Tara ~ you and I could meet there for lunch? ha! but you never, never know.
It sounds like a little place that I frequent in Leura, near where I live. What a great idea to take the camera and take some pics.

All the photos on your blog this season are just breathtaking! Lovely to see what Christmas looks like in England and Paris! Beautiful! My daughter, like Jordana, loves to shop as well. I keep trying to purge things out of my home, she keeps filling it up!! Inhale.....exhale!! haha
Peace and giggles

That restaurant sounds divine. When we finally jump across the pond (not anytime soon I'm afraid), I'll be certain to consult you on places to eat.

The bears are adorable!
I'm still too stuffed to think about any food yet - even healthy food. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas, Tara. xo

Cute bears and the sweet potato falafel sound good. I've never had them that way.
