We were in the City today watching a bit of theatre and having a mooch around our favourite places afterwards with the help of our trusty Bugaboo Bee!

We went to the Science Museum, which we love, but it was very packed being half term so after a little while we decided to grab an ice cream (the sun came out – seriously) and head on up through Hyde Park to the Princess Diana Playground!

We love walking through London and today enjoyed an ice cream en route!

We got to the park and immediately decided to have some fun on the pirate ship. Florence even climbed to the top of the crows nest, something she’s been wanting to do for ages but hasn’t been quite big enough until today! Jimmy played on the little boats and when he too wanted to go on the big ship I of course had to follow him.

The children always have fun in the Princess Diana Playground!

I took my bag with me and just left things of no value in the buggy although I have to say, the park is usually very safe! Usually you can rely on no one trying to pinch things from your buggy when you leave it unattended!

But… Today was not one of those days! Today, as I victoriously congratulated myself on getting up onto the ship without breaking anything or showing the world my bottom via my short skirt, I turned and looked at the buggy. My buggy is easy to see, it has Andy Warhol Happy Bugs all over the hood and scanning the pathway with my eyes I found it immediately.

What I didn’t expect to find was a THIEF!

Rummaging around under my buggy!

Can you see what I saw?

How about now?

I quickly took a photograph of the villain with my super duper zoom and sprang into action! I know they say you shouldn’t confront the criminal but I could see him making off with one of my best mini tupperwares!

I found him and cornered him!

He was unrepentant and looked at me as if to say ‘What of it?’ He was a fat little thing, I don’t think this was his first lunch time haul and when I tried to grab my tupperware from his pincer like paws he was adamant he wasn’t handing it over and instead tried to open it in front of me! BRAZEN!

Eventually I wrestled it from this beast but not before he’d got a good handful of biscuits (actually truth be told I gave him some as I felt sorry for him) but instead of apologising, he just stuffed them in his porky little mouth and beadily rushed off!

STOP THIEF!

It was too late. He’d gone… But he’s a wanted squirrel and he needs to GO TO JAIL! That’s what you get for stealing things from MY Bugaboo Bee when we are out playing REAL Monopoly!

If you see him, give us a call!

I have not been paid for this post.
