One of the top reasons why I decided to come to London was the endless amount of things I could see and experience within the M25. Today reminded me of that very reason when I found a small brick-a-brac shop on a road a rarely walk. There was antique furniture outside on the pavement and a few boxes scattered with books and small toys. One of those boxes caught my eye and I leaned closer to find a whole set of Star Wars action figures.

Excitement won’t be the correct word to use but I sure felt something when I saw them. The gentleman in the shop came outside and with a smile on his face told me that they were £6 each, which is a bargain for anything related to Star Wars. They even had 3CPO and Princess Leia and the mighty Darth Vader. Sadly I had no cash on me and I doubt they would have accepted a debit card so I took a photo instead.

I am seriously tempted to withdraw some money and get Darth Vader at least, definitely a collectable. With this find in mind, I urge you to scour through Charity Shops; they sometimes have amazing things hidden away for next to nothing.  

Now when I saw this video I immediately thought about pet owners in London. Let’s face the fact that London should have been called Matchbox City as there is no space for anything. That always makes me think about the poor pets that so many owners in keep their small flats / houses.

This is actually a great idea for taking your cat / dog for a walk, not very practical but these two cats beg to differ. Check out the video to see what I mean.

Ok, I know this is my second post for today but something freaky is happening in London and I had to share it with you folks. I was browsing around other blogs last night when I stumbled across a blog that mentioned an increase of ladybugs in London. How weird is that, that today of all days I discovered around eight ladybugs by my window. Something is not right here, or is it.

Two weeks ago we had a lot of bees flying in and out of our flat, luckily only one at a time and not a whole swarm which made me think that we probably have a nest nearby. They seemed to have calmed down a lot now that it is getting colder. I took photos of the ladybugs hauting us, damn ladybugs are so small, the camera did not want to zoom in properly.
