Well we did get up early this morning and took ourselves off to the Cheshire Oaks. The day didn't start promisingly because it was raining quite heavily, but it actually cleared up during the morning.
Had a good look round, bought some origin chocs at Thorntons, then into Next. Never find anything in there though the clothes aren't as good as they used to be. Saw some beautiful little espresso cups in the kitchen shop which we later went back for. Round to Costa Coffee for our usual tipple, a soy latte for me and one for VT with a shot of something in. Quite crowded in there. I think it is the first stop after the coach station!
Round to M&S and Smiths. Bought our Christ,as Crackers in M&S. Last year we got some cheap ones from Range and they were awful, I'm looking for a big improvement this year!
Beautiful sandwiches from Pret a Manger, Brie and Cranberry. Really really nice, some of the tastiest sandwiches we have had since we came back from US.
Walked past Clarks, and went in to see if they had any slippers. When we were in about Aug. they said too early for slippers!! Daft that is! They had a deal, £8 a pair or 2 pairs for £10, so I am now well stocked up on slippers. We had looked in almost every shop for sweat shirts, but couldn't find any till we went in Cotton Traders. £7 each so we bought one each, mine is a fetching shade of pink VT's is a fetching shade of dark bottle green!
Then home..quite pleased with the purchases today, pity they weren't at US prices though.
Stopped at Sainsbury's on the way back to get the babies some chicken, well they have been on their own all day, and got some nice pasta and sauce for our tea so tonight we are having:
Pumpkin Ravioli.
Tomato and Goats cheese sauce
Asparagus and a tiny sprinkle of parmesan.
