Up and At Em..

This morning we were up early, since we had planned to go to the Cheshire Oaks.Left the house at about 9-15 after the morning rush, and got there about an hour later. it's a good run, through the Mersey Tunnel, which has now gone up to £1.50 each way, past the Ellesmere Boat Museum, and then you are there. Loads of parking spaces, and we park in our usual place being creatures of habit. We always walk round clockwise, then we are at the Costa Coffee shop at the right time. The monsoon shop has closed which is a shame, but other new ones have opened up, a lot of young men's shops that you look at but don't go in. Lovely coffee at Costa. VT has a medium latte, and I have an Americano. Really nice place to catch your breath, I love Costa. Went into my perfume shop, and lo and behold they actually had some of my Origins Ginger Essence eau de toilette.They haven't had that for simply ages, and I absolutely love it..so me a happy bunny. Went into Mulberry..picked up a lovely little purple..well blueberry credit card holder..price £63!!!!! Good grief, talk about paying for the name. Bought a lovely silky top in M&S Outlet in the Per Una range, only £5 so well pleased with that. They have great bargains there, VT got some lovely cheap tea lights and some socks..really exciting..oh and a pack of shortbread. I got another top in Cotton Traders round the corner which goes beautifully with the jacket that we hemmed yesterday. VT got some sunglasses from the Sunglasses hut, polarised,, and the ones that fit over your prescription glasses. Only £10 so he was chuffed with those.
Past Times is always a draw for me. Didn't see anything I wanted but got a gorgeous McIntosh bookmark that I can send to Ann in her birthday parcel in a few days..nice and light to pack too considering it is going to Australia.
Sainsburys for lunch, because VT wanted some of their Vegetarian Sushi, but they didn't have any!! sad about that. It is still quite hard to get lunches when you are vegetarian, you tend to end up with cheese sandwiches. In the end I had cheese and tomato and VT had some wraps, shared a bottle of water and a bag of crisps so not too bad.
Home by 3-15 . Had a lovely day today. Got lots of things I wanted,,, unlike the last time I went there, and came hole with nothing. But, that is the nature of Outolet villages.
Little ginger girl came to greet his car when we came home bless her. She is such a gorgeous cat. Our two sort of nonchalantly come down the stairs..no hurry..spoilt brats.
Tonight we are having:
Chicken style piem
Mixed vegetables
The rest of the baby jersey royals
Mushroom sauce.
