… and
a belated birthday present.
When
you get to a certain age you run out of ideas for gifts, there are
only so many ornaments, soaps on a rope and bubble baths you can get
away with!
My
friend and I take each other out for a spot of retail therapy and
then lunch. Each chooses the location and the ultimate lunch
destination.
Welcome
to Market Harborough!
For
those not aware, Market Harborough is a market town in
Leicestershire, actually on the border of both Northamptonshire and
Leicestershire. Its magic, for both of us, is that it has real
shops, not the usual run of the mill high street.
There
are two “must visit” places on the list and first up is Bagel
& Griff – this shop has
has
a fantastic array of all things beautiful for eating and drinking,
textiles, storage, pictures and a selection of cards et al that you
won't have seen before. If you need a gift for someone who has
everything, then this is the emporium for you. I will resist the
urge to waffle, I'll just show you a photograph of one of my
indulgences :
They
are so tactile – my justification for this purchase is, like it
says on the box, “use for cold cuts or as cutlery in your
picnic basket”. It's the time
of year for alfresco eating and I hate plastic cutlery!
I
rest my case and highly recommend a visit.
