We went to Norwich for the day. Hired a mobility scooter for OH, handy because it can carry the shopping too. I was disappointed with M&S, no boot leg jeans, I hate skinny jeans. The dresses all looked as though they were made for women 6 ft tall. OH couldn't find any cord trousers or trousers with a bit of elastic in the waist, comfier, which they used to do.
Went to John Lewis, only one pair of bootleg jeans - £139! I don't usually feel like a poor person but the prices in that shop are out of reach. We'd wanted a few more nice water glasses as had a couple of breakages, they were expensive too. The ones in Morrisons were enormous. But I did buy a pretty blue embroidered duvet cover to take back to France. We tried Lakeland but they don't do water glasses anymore.
Bon Marché was next to Lakeland and they had plenty of bootleg jeans, perfect fit. I bought 3 pairs, light blue, dark blue and black to take back to France. They only seem to sell hipsters in France that fall down when I walk.
We had lunch in a Norwich pub, sitting outside in the sunshine.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Once upon a time M&S used to be a great shop and always worth a good look round but nowadays the clothes are often dull, badly fitting and uninspiring. The only thing they are good for now is their food.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
@Songbird-1 I'm still looking for a cardi, can't find one anywhere🤦♀️🤷♀️
M&S have had strange clothes for awhile now. The quality is certainly not as good either. Agree LB, they used to be such good store. Next is a bit hit and miss too. I miss Debenhams. @Busy-Lizzie glad you found some jeans you like, think they are one of the hardest items of clothing to buy now. Weather today improved and by this afternoon it was lovely and sunny again. Will say goodnight too, sleep well everyone. Sweet dreams.
Lily I agree with you regarding buying jeans. M&S quality today seems to bare no relation to items bought earlier over the years. Busy a lucky find in BM. I’ve slept for a few hours and woken with the munchies and having some tea. Night night
Good morning everyone . Didn’t sleep very well last night .Rosie i hope you are fast asleep now . Good that you found some jeans that you liked Busy. I hope everyone has slept.LB I am pleased that you had an enjoyable day with you Bestie.Have a good day everyone .

Warm sunny morning, introduction in one more hot day. I'm off to school and later to cottage.
Have a nice day and see you all later.
