Fortnum and Mason, for family fun or romance

 

Enticing window displays. Huge flowers and animals to entertain children. Look closely and you will see a gold topped Champagne bottle in the lower middle.




 Upstairs in Fortnum & Mason food store in Jermyn Street, London.
I had a freshly squeezed orange juice. Hard to find in London. But everywhere in Singapore.

Teeny ice cream cone came with the double espresso. 


A informative placemat for adults, with a reverse for kids to colour.


If you are looking for table mats, napkins, place settings, for holding a dinner party you will find numerous delights. We bought a tea towel showing the building, the main colour being their signature turquoise green.
