I'm glad you had a lovely day and felt more relaxed for itbeanielou said:Have had a lovely day thanks everyone.
Went for lunch which was fantastic.
Had a cheeky kir royale & a raspberry gin.
We went to the local mill shop after for a quick browse.
My mum very kindly treated me to jeans & a top.
We dident stay there long as it was so hot with our masks on.
That is the first time I have been in a shop which is non food since before lockdown & I have no desire to hurry back to any.
Just for now all is well with the world.
