Plaza Visit..

The ocean Plaza that is. Just a group of stores on the coast at Southport. I have been meaning to have a look round for a long time so we went this morning. It was a really cold morning so it iwas good to get into the warm,
there was A Matalan..very big store, with a lot of goods but nothing we really fancied buying. So a look round then out.. Then an In-Store, the same as the one in Walton but bigger, and again nothing we wanted. I wanted some plasters, but they didn't sell them..typical. Then on to Dunelm Mill for a nice cup of coffee and a biscuit. I had a Latte and VT had an Americano and he paid. Very generous. Our biscuit was a lemon macadamia shortbread all the way from......Australia!! At least it wasn't made in China.
I did buy a new Duvet for the bed. It is Hungarian Goose Down,£117 for the double one. I had it in mind to buy a new duvet, and was considering getting one from M&S but theirs are £149 so we have saved a few pounds there. We had been looking at the down and feather ones, but this is 13.5 tog rating and seems good value. Since we are doing the bedding on Saturday we will put it on the bed then.
Tonight we are having:
Either a casserole or Hot-Pot.
I have a stew pack with carrots parsnip swede etc so will use that up. Might do one with apple and cider and quorn chicken style pieces. i shall see when I get down there!!
