Cathy & I went to Kendal today shopping.
She & her husband fly to NZ in three weeks, the first half of our party to go out for the weddings. They are having a holiday before the event & we are the other way round.
She needed bits & pieces for a hot climate but not so lucky with the summer season stuff yet....too early. No walking shorts anywhere!
We had a lovely day & lunch out & no fog!
I am out to a Burns night meal so no comments from me tonight I’m afraid.
Three good things:
1. The Burns meal out tonight is free thanks to Harry. He delivers 170 free local magazines out every month so gets the night free but he thinks it’s a long evening so doesn’t go anymore. Three of us are going & leaving the men at home!
2. Neeps & tattles, I love them!
3. I kept my money in my bag.....mostly, just bought a new navy fleece from M&S.
Nice to have a girls shopping day.. may be still some sale summer clothes in but i see the other day Autumn clothes have hit the shelves here now.. what parts of NZ are they exploring..
So lovely having a day out shopping with Cathy , shame it was hard to find summer clothing for her trip ! Much better fog wise here too today ! Enjoy your evening celebrating tonight !
I think I'm about the same as Harry - don't like going out when you can't just say, I want to go home now! Lunches are so much better but I guess Burns wouldn't be Burns night if it was Burn's lunch! This is a nice pedestrian scene and not many people!
@julzmaioro No summer clothes in yet Julz....all sale winter stuff! They are flying into Christchurch then going south to Queenstown & surrounds, the usual tourist places....they have never been on SI before. Across the ferry then up to Ant in Taupo then around a
& about from there for a bit then up to Morrinsville & Te Aroha for wedding.
@zeezee Yes we are in NZ for our grandchildren’s weddings in March. Have been to the Coromandal quite a few times over the years, a gorgeous part of NZ. Up as far as Whitianga but not lately as the son that used to take us has gone south to Kinloch....
@maggiemae A long night Maggie...went on until after 11pm!! Quite enjoyable though but not so good at hearing the speeches....could have done with a microphone! Loads of food....having a cup of tea before bed now!
Nice! Looks like a nice shopping spot, despite the lack of shorts! How exciting to have another trip to NZ to look forward to. We have a Burns dinner tonight.
