Today I went in search of the original Twinnings Tea Shop. I wandered down the Strand, and back up, confused by the numbering on the buildings. I wandered back down, only to find the shop completely under construction. Extremely bummed out, I stopped in a Whittard of Chelsea, and picked up 2 packets of tea, but they didn't really have anything I drooled over. I wandered off the very beaten path a little bit, and found a Satya jewelry boutique at the edge of Covent Garden that just opened two weeks ago. In need of retail therapy to nurse my lack-of-Twinnings woes, I bought myself a beautiful necklace and bracelet. Now to pop off to the movie theatre and see District 9 for the second time. Today is the UK release and G can't wait to see it.
