On our pre Christmas trip to London we were checking out Fortnum and Masons for the Mill Cottage fayre. Then we remembered we were North of the border for Christmas so could save our pennies. Feeling disappointed at not spotting the Queen doing her Christmas shop, our spirits were lifted by the sight of a strange creature across the road. On further investigation we found not a creature but a rather peculiar 3 legged Buddha sitting in the courtyard of the Royal Academy of Arts.
