A Day of even more Gallivanting.

I walked over 12,000 steps today. Phew. I went to Regent Street as I was meeting up with friends. We walked to Oxford Street and I went into a Sweets and Toys Store while they went into another store. I could not resist taking photos as the store was ablaze with colours. And this old lady loves all things colourful.




Truly colourful and I was on cloud cuckoo as I love everything colourful. From Oxford Street, we walked down to New Oxford Street, which is going towards Bloomsbury, at the Tottenham Court Road end of Oxford Street.. It was a long walk for old ladies but as we were chatting, we did not feel the effect of the walk. After lunch there, we ended up in Queensway, by Bayswater as my friends wanted to buy items from a Japanese/Korean Store there. I ended up buying lots of Seaweed myself as I love using them for my salads. I normally go to The Japan Centre to get them. Now I know I have another choice. When I finally got back home and checked my steps for the day, it was 12,231.00. Not bad for this Gallivanting OAP. Ciao and catch up soon.

That was my destination as I wanted to buy a gift for a very dear friend’s grandson’s birthday. I love giving my own grandchildren and great-grandchild LEGO as I am fascinated by LEGO BRICKS. I have a Classic 4-99 years old box of LEGO Bricks. I build various items when I am bored and when I do not want to do anymore crosswords or Word Search. Building LEGO challenges the brain as well as crosswords or word search. On my way to the LEGO STORE, I stopped just as I got to Swiss Court and asked a passer-by to please take a photo of me. After that, as I was now opposite the M & M Store, I had another photo taken of me standing right in front. I then had my photo taken of me in front of the LEGO store. Let me quickly add here that for now, the LEGO STORE in Leicester Square, London, is the largest LEGO store in the world. That ...

I am hoping to keep this Blog going daily, almost daily or a few times a week. I am out and on th ego daily but I just may not be able to keep it up daily. I live in Central London, and I do tend to gallivant around this great, lovely, historical and wonderful City of London. I belong to several charities and organisations and volunteer a lot in various ways. I am retired, a widow and in my 70s. I have 6 adult grown up children, all married, left home, scattered around the world, plus several grandchildren and a great grandchild for now. No more grandchildren as they have all been born. I am fondly called Mamina by many, including some of my children, their spouses and even some of the grandchildren. My other grandchildren call me Nana.
