Out veggie shopping this morning, decided to go to Waitrose for a change. It's a while since we have been there actually, apart from calling in very quickly for one or two items. They do have nice veg in there and since we had done tesco last Friday we thought a change would be an idea. Besides.... you can get a free paper if you spend over a fiver which we jknew we would, and we could get free coffees with our card. So, off we went there.
Whizzed round the shop actually, got some lovely veggies, and Vin got his pasties for Friday. Had a good mooch too, but didn't see anything much apart from Easter eggs everywhere you look.
Went for our free coffees which were very nice, I had a black and Vin had a latte and we shared a pack of shortbreads.
very interesting programme on BBC2 last night about the rise of coffee shops. mainly about the big three..namely Starbucks, Cafe nero and Costa. We have Costa handy, and there is a Cafe nero in Formby which we have been in once or twice but no Starbucks. Not sorry about that, I prefer Costa anyway. Apparently they are on top in the UK at present and expanding..the one that is attached to the Tesco in Formby is great, you wouldn't think you were in a supermarket.
Nice to get out, it is a sunny day but cold today, still a bit wintery, but the trees are greening up now.
Tonight we are having:
Gruyere cheese escalope,
carrots and broccoli
Hollandaise sauce
Potato croquettes.
