Harrods Christmas outing

This evening I met up with my friend Andrew for our annual Christmas jaunt to Harrods. It's the third year that we've gone to Harrods in the run up to Christmas for a gossip over cake and then done some Christmas shopping. 

I like looking at how all the windows are dressed. This year there was a Land of Make Believe theme. 

I really enjoyed the wintery images and the image below of the 1920s style model I really liked. 

Father Christmas was of course on hand. 

Some of the window designs were a little creepy this clockwork girl was rather sinister. 

And this ballerina although reminded me of an old jewellery box I got one Christmas as a child was also quite spooky. 

Here's a picture of Andrew in the fabulous cafe we went to sitting in a rather lovely high back chair. 

The cafe had an awesome aray of cakes

We both went for the chocolate fudge cake pictured at the back here. 

We wandered around Harrods after taking in the chandelier section, for all your crystal light ware needs. 

We also went to the Christmas shop. We worked out that the display of red and purple velvet Christmas decorations costs in total about 10 grand. 

We also came across possibly the worst Christmas tree bauble ever. It looks like a dead bird. I assume it pheasant feathers but it just looked horrible. We then came across a foxes head bauble which was also revolting. Expensive doesn't have to be tasteful! 

Anyway we had a wonderful time and I've almost finished my Christmas shopping now!
