Wooden blocks depicting some of the City of London's most famous landmarks, including the London Eye. The blocks come in a muslin bag and are designed as an office "toy" for adults, rather than children. Notice anything wrong with this picture?
Jordana and I are off to London via Eurostar to celebrate her 22nd birthday! Back in Paris on Thursday, just in time for a festive lunch with my husband's office staff. Also on Thursday, we'll be welcoming one of Jordana's friends from university, who will spend Christmas with us. Meanwhile, I have prepared some "timed" posts, which magically should appear in my absence. See you soon!
Neat!

No palance. No people. No bridges.

Must be slippery roads in London which caused one of the car to turn upside down.....:-)
Have a good time in London!

Did a double-decker get decked? Or just flop onto its top? Otherwise the city block(s) look like a lot of fun to me...
Happy Birthday to your lovely Jordana!!! Hope you two have a marvelous time - enjoy!
XOXO

Happy Birthday wishes to Jordana & happy Euro-hopping to both of you!
Thanks for preparing posts ahead of time for us all to read.
If we don't cross cyber-paths beforehand - Blessed holidays to your house.
P.S. - I think one of the blocks didn't pass its roll-over test.

Jordana is so happy with you around to celebrate her birthday in London and also cheerful to spend Christmas with her friend at home. That will be a very lively holiday. Wish you to post some holiday pictures soon to share.
Also in China, we can feel Christmas atmosphere now, many stores are decorated freshly to meet the holiday. Here Merry Christmas to you all.

have a fun trip !

I'm still not sure if we'll see London when we go to the UK next year - we decided to fly in and out of Manchester to avoid the crush at Heathrow. There's a lot to see in the rest of the UK, after all.
I'm sure you'll have a great time with your daughter - and you are undoubtedly more used to big cities than I am.
I have no idea what is wrong with the picture, will you enlighten us when you get back?

Cute blocks! Brendan would love them!

Enjoy your journey with Jordana (your daughter?)

Hmmm... Buckingham Palace? Have a great time in London- I love it there!

Enjoy London, Tara! As for the set, hmm, Tower Bridge missing? St. Paul's missing? The "Gherkin" looks like a missile! Happy Holidays to you and your family :)

my daughter was recently outraged that lincoln logs are no longer made out of wood; she would get such a kick out of these.
Have a delightful time.
How brillant are you to prepare posts ahead of time!
