I booked tickets to go to The Shard, it is a lovely piece of architecture.
The Shard definitely stands out in the London skyline.
I found it interesting the different types of buildings we have and the names.
So, Today I arranged to meet up with the lovely Lou and Hope!
we planned to spend the day (weather permitting) up to London with A picnic.
The downside was we were too early and the weather was as it usually is in Britain cold and wet.
the girls got restless as we met at 10.
not realising we would be stuck with nothing to do until 1 pm when we got to see the views.
so we had some coffee and a sandwich when we were naughty and had Krispy Kreme doughnuts uh oh!
After we whetted our Krispy Kreme appetite we decided to have a look in the Shard Shop.
oh my! there were so many lovely, pricey things,
the stationary and kitchen items were the monochrome style. You can see from the photographs how hard it was to resist everything 1 pm came, and the monkey was slowly falling asleep, unusual really out of both the girls KK would fall asleep in the buggy but Monkey wouldn’t.
and I was told, “I’m sorry but you’re not allowed to take buggies any further than this point!
”so by now, I have a grizzly baby, and I wasn’t allowed to use my new tripod holder (cue pissed off mummy). So I then had to take all bags – picnic items and the usual bag I have with monkeys’ essentials to carry along with us. The monkey, at this point, was having a screaming fit and unhappy.
Lou said to one of the workers that it wasn’t fair Monkey was tired and needed her buggy. Would have completely ruined my Shard experience; thankfully, we were allowed, and we had a happy monkey and happy mummy.
we entered the hall where what seemed like we were visiting Willie Wonka and his chocolate factory.
The lift was super fast, and on Floor number 68 we arrived in no time. KK wasn’t happy as she wanted to go to floor 72, but we were working our way up.
It is just a shame the weather wasn’t as good, would have been a lovely view on a clear sunny day.
Champers!
Finally, we got to floor 72 of The Shard, and wow, it was a garden astroturf with a bar, and a glass of champers for £10! A GLASS!
we stuck to the coffee by god. Did we need it LOL.
The girls got along so well and were inviting each other over to each other’s homes, in the end, we settled on the shopping centre closest to us both.
THE VIEW FROM THE SHARD
London’s highest and best view is at the top of The Shard, on floors 68, 69 and 72. At almost twice the height of any other viewing platform in the capital, it offers visitors unparalleled 360-degree views for up to 40 miles.
Also, here is a sneak at the Monochrome sets –
