Not wanting to go out of the village until its all over shopping wise, we walked to the Precinct and went in Co-op and Heron.
We had a coffee and mince pie in Streza, again it was busy in there, mainly Ash Lea School students. Nice to see though, when so many places struggle. It's a good place, the lady who runs it is very friendly, and the food there is good. The mince pies were homemade and delicious, not had that good a pastry for many a year. Shop bought ones on the whole have hard pastry, so it was a real treat.
We then walked down to Sainsbury's to pick up the ingredients for that brussel sprout stir fry that Nigella Lawson made on the TV the other night. I downloaded the recipe on Pinterest.
We eventually got the bus back with all the shopping hopefully we only have the fresh to get now and some of that Charlotte and Ian are picking up for us. If we do want anything we will walk down the village and get it Tuesday. Again staying local to avoid the madness really. Now I dont have to be part of it, I am quite happy to stay out of it. In fact its lovely after 45 manic Christmases, it is great to able to see it from a different angle, no stress, no nasty or "merry" customers to deal with. It's nice that Kev only has the weekend to do,
so that he can enjoy some of it too. Mind you, he will be back after Boxing day bless him, no peace for the wicked.
