Also craving a grilled cheese after that post! Hands down the two hottest babes in London! Of course the Queen made sure she was in town- she knew the Eichers were going to be there! I miss all of the amazing markets in London. Not as much as Hordon and I miss Annabelle though. Love you Annie- see you soon!!!!! P.S. Brenda and Annie = Way Photogenic! (Sorry somehow my first time posting this didn't work--struggs).
