So we set off. First detour was at the end of the road which wouldn't let you get on to the Bypass but we were expecting that. Went along the bypass without any trouble, then we hit it! traffic cones for pretty nearly the length of the bypass!. What a pain, traffic crawling along in one lane and nothing you could do about it. pretty bad the other way too. Eventually we got going but we had given up a lot of time crawling. By the time we got to Dobbies we were glad to be there.
Had a bit of wheeling around and a little mooch, but there seems to be something going on because a lot of the shelves were quite bare.We were looking for the candles actuall6y because we like the Yankee candles tealights, but couldn't find any, so Vin asked a girl where they were. She said it was all being re-organised, because there were new owners and they wanted to put their own stamp on things.
So we went to get our coffees, I had a flat white and Vin had a large latte which was twice the size of mine! Actually mine was very tasty.
Then we went to do our shopping, we needed to get a cake, their cherry cakes are nice, shortbread biscuits, fruits for cheese and Vinspotted some wheat biscuits he liked the look of. Then that was it really, time to go home and face the traffic going back.
Surprise Surprise, it wasn't bad at all. A little blocked but at least moving fairly well, and they seemed to be in the process of removing the cones, so it was all flowing.
Got home and little Jessie hadn't moved at all. She was still in her basket.
