I have wound up with different sizes from the same company:eek: I don't like to order shoes or clothing online! I have enough problems getting things to fir properly even when trying things on.
That happens when the company that actually builds the products are from foreing countries like China.
Their sizes are vastly different, since china exports everywhere.. they probably have orders in Chinese sizes (very small), US sizes and Euro sizes.

I always pictured London grey and rainy but we had sun basically the whole time. It was supposed to be rainy one day but it rained for like one minute lightly on us and then wash it and sunny. It was a massive heat wave while we were there it was in the 90's. That is highly unusual for them.
The temperatures are definitively crazy.
I remember the guys in the south were getting record highs in temps this winter (summer for them).
Now USA getting extremely low temps all around (abnormally low) and countries like England and India are suffering heat waves.

It probably depends on whether or not they were made by a 4 year old or a 5 year old kid. Figuring sizes before attending school can be a challenge. :angelic: Also if it is the beginning of that 14 hour shift or the end of it.:cyclops:

I'm taking a break from a crafty project (if it turns out I will share a picture of it) so I thought I'd update with a few more London pictures.

I'll start with some food....The first picture is of my ale and pie sampler. The first pie (on the left) was something I thought would be my least favorite and it rivaled my favorite: 1. sweet potato spinach and goat cheese, the middle or #2 was a steak pie, and #3 (my favorite) was ham hock and chicken in a creamy tarragon sauce. The ales were matched with the pies. This was at the Red Lion, if you are in London near Westminster Abbey check it out, very good!

Hubby got the full size version of the steak pie. He got a nice little salad with his, apparently the ales were my "veggie"!

Then another day we went to the Blackfriars Pub (again excellent). And I had another tasty ale, and hubby and I both had sausages and mash (also known as bangers and mash).

We took the tourist excursion to Harrods, we walked there. We treated it like Wall-Drug in South Dakota, both are so big that we gave ourselves a limited amount of time there. At Harrod's I did buy some chocolates, and a hazelnut hot cocoa mix just for the box. But the hot cocoa will be nice when winter rolls around.

After shopping that day we were really tired so we took the tube back to our neighborhood and found a pub. The pub had 2 for 1 burgers on special so that is what we went with. The burgers were good.

The next day we headed to Windsor castle.
But these are a picture of the Underground stairs at our station, I thought it was cool that the steps were themed to look like the Underground trains, I didn't see all the steps at stations like this.

Windsor Castle (we were there first thing in the morning). Again we were only allowed to take pictures outside, no pictures allowed in the State rooms or in the beautiful St. Georges cathedral. I think it is ploy to sell postcards, but they state it is for security and integrity of the palaces and places of worship. So another point in favor of France, they let you take pictures anywhere!

The ale looked yummy! THNX again for sharing your trip. I can't believe the no pics indoors rule! UNFAIR to nice people like yourself!

@ajrwdwgirl , more outstanding photos! What surprised me the most was that it looked sunny in London! I know that London is noted for its fog and rain, so it looks like you lucked out with the weather! I really enjoyed your references to Mary Poppins with some of the locations; that was the icing on the cake to your very interesting London pictures. :inlove: :)
