Well, I went out again today (making the most of the half term as I'm a teacher and back to work on Monday). Ventured to Bents on my journeys. It was amazing. However, having a 4 and 6 year old with me meant that I couldn't look round like I wanted to! Only one thing for it...another visit before xmas without them! Feeling super Christmassy at the mo. One the hunt for a nice christmas box for the hamper with christmassy pictures on. ANyone seen one? I've looked for gift boxes but can only find gift bags.

Ooo that is good to hear. Someone else who went was disappointed with it which put me off going as it is a bit of a journey. Has anyone else been yet?

I've never been before but my parents have (and they came too). There were some lovely displays with lots of nice things. Slightly pricey though. Due to the kids spending so long looking at the christmas displays of villages and the jacuzzis, didn't get chance to look in lots of detail but saw things as I walked past and said mmmmmm nice. Coffee shop is nice too!

Ok .Shall we say the last Wed in November then.
It's the 28th . We could meet at 10.

How are we all going to recognise each other ?

I AM NOT WEARING ANTLERS OR A ROSE :rotfl:

EDIT- Sorry I have had a glass of wine. I can just see us all wondering round eyeing everyone up, wondering if they are one of us.

28th is good for me. I'll be the one with a little blond haired boy probably telling him not to run off or touch anything. :rotfl:
I can't remember is there a coffee shop there? :xmastree:

I'm going on Monday so I'll let you know what I think. It's only a 5 minute drive for me so I can't complain if it's rubbish... well actually I can

Ooo that was me But please don't let what I said put you off, it is lovely - but for me it isn't as good as previous years! You can still very much absorb yourself totally in Christmas. In fact, I did see one adorable little girl about 3-4yrs old, throwing a strop and telling who I assume to be her Grandad "I want to go now, its TOO MUCH Christmas!" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
