Up and At Em...

We were up very early for us this morning, and out by nineish. We had planned to go to the Cheshire Oaks, so we went to bed early, and set the alarms. VT got up just before they went off though and went down for our small coffees to wake us up. Bless Him.
It was a beautiful day actually, with the sun shining, and lovely and warm. All we needed was a light coat. Made good time and we were there by tenish and parked where we always do. Very much creatures of habit we are !.We always walk round in a clockwise direction and tend to go into the same shops. Since we were there last about early July some shops have gone and others have arrived. A big surprise was the arrival of a L'Occitane shop. I was thrilled with this because I get some of their products from QVC, but they had things quite a lot cheaper. Didn't buy anything first time round but decided to go back afterwards. Coffee at Costa Coffee..quite busy, I wouldn't mind shares in that shop! then walked round to M&S womens and mens shops. I spotted a lovely light coat in silver..parka style from their Autograph collection for £20 !! tried it on and it was a bit big, but they only had three and the others were totally the wrong size. So bought that. Goat some ginger Origins perfume and a bit annoyed because they didn't have any of my spray, but this is a roll on and will go in my handbag beautifully. Bought our sandwiches from Pret a Manger, VT had falafel and something, and I had Emmenthal and salad. We take them back to the car, and find a lovely quiet spot in Sainsburys car park and enjoy our "picnic".
Back to L'Occitane which is in the other car park, and I bought some liquid soap and refills, some hand soap, and the girl said that if we bought something else for £12 we would get a big bag of freebies for nothing, so VT got some more soaps. I love L'Occitane soaps, the fragrances are gorgeous, and everything is such good quality. Yes its quite expensive, but I don't care, and I think you get what you pay for sometimes.
We were back by three fifteenish, and the little cats appeared in the kitchen for their chicken!!! little beggars. Nice to be greeted though.
Tonight we are having:
Red onion and feta slices
Mixed vegetables
Sliced and sauteed potatoes
Mushroom sauce.
