Out for the Day...

We decided this week we would go out today, so we went over to the Cheshire Oaks. We arrived by ten o'clock when it starts opening up, and you could have parked anywhere. One of the good things about going there is the parking, you don't have to pay,so you don't have the problem of going back to the car to put more money in.
Quite a nice day too, overcast but didn't rain..however as I type this it is raining now, and has gone quite blowy.
Had a look in our usual shops, Next, Thorntons regatta etcx., but didn't buy anything. I bought one Bobbi Brown eye shadow in the cosmetics shop, and had a godd big free squirt of their Origins Ginger Essence which is my favourite.
Had our usual coffee in Costa Coffee, I have a Soy Latte, and VT has one with a Vanilla shot, and a couple of lovely little shortbread hearts,Mmmmm.
Nothing in M&S and nothing in W H Smiths either. got a cvouple of things in Whittards, and some nice flavoured coffees. By this time it is nearly lunchtime so we went to Pret a Manger, but it was crowded so we went back in a little bit. I had an Avocado and Pesto sandwich, and VT had a Falafel Melt. Both really fresh and tasty. Made our way back to the car. VT bought a new corduroy jacket in Cotton traders I had spotted for £5 yep that's right a fiver, and it is a lovely jacket. Then he bought a new everyday coat from Regatta, so he did well today. it is usually me who buys things so he did fine for a change.
Home fairly early today, just in time to beat the rain.
Tonight we are having:
Carrot and Swede Mash,
Mashed Potato with leek,
Maybe Lamb Grills or Chicken Style Kievs.

By the way last night's meal of Almost Cheeseless Pasta Casserole was delicious. It was a recipe I had not done before, and I was surprised at the different flavours. Lovely.
