Out we Go!

very busy everywhere because it is Mother's Day weekend. I would have liked to have gone to M&S in Aintree, but that was out, it would have been heaving and you wouldn't have got near the coffee shop I'm sure. We'll go next week when it is quieter. So we went off to Dobbies. I always call it Dobbles because the i looks like an l to moi.  Very busy there too, but it is such a big place everyone is spread out., they are currently running all sorts of offers there so I expect that was why. We had a bit of a look round, Vin wanted to get some tealights which were on offer and I wanted a look for something for the District nurses, who have nearly finished with me now. At least the ones in Thornton have. Wanted to get them some biscuits and a tin but didn't see a tin I liked.
So we went and had our coffee. Not free ones today because Vin had a coupon from the post for a buy one get one free so he bought them today. Thankyou sweetheart! Lovely cup of filter coffee and he had a latte, and a nice shortbread.  Cafe part was quite busy today, much more than normal. Vin spotted some little boys filling their pockets with something and then climbing up the outdoor slide and throwing gravel down the slide. Boys will be boys I suppose. By the time they progressed to a rock their mum had spotted them and told them to go and put it back. little imps.
Had a bit more of a mooch round after that. Vin got his tealights and then in the food hall he spied a nice round tin of deans sghortbreads so we got that with two "refill" boxes for the Nurses so I was happy with that. All we need now is a nice thankyou card and some wrapping paper and sorted! great, they can use them for their meetings.
Home for lunch, one phone call missed probably jane on her way to work, and not much post.
