We got up and went into the City. We wanted to get a few things from Boyes, which is fast becoming our go to shop for most household items.
I even found some buttons to put on my new Autumn/Winter cape coat. I'd only said that morning that I was thinking about changing them.
We found descaling tablets for the coffee maker, Kev found a portable coffee mug. All at a reasonable price. So I'm glad we have somewhere that replaces Wilkos for most of our household needs, and in the City rather than having to traipse all over the place. B&M and Home Bargains are great, both though are on retail parks and sometimes they aren't easy for us to get to.
We had coffee in Black Sheep Coffee, our new go to if we can, as the coffee is excellent ( we've bought some for our home one, as they sell it in bags ready ground) its a nice atmosphere and well done out with Banksy style murals on the walls. The only catch is don't attempt to go in when the students are on breaks ( usually around 11ish and through lunch. It gets busy, and they have student offers on during term times. Plus its new and students tend to want to go anywhere trendy. We've found 10ish is fine with plenty of seats and tables to choose from. We had just finished up by the time they started filtering in. The queue was past the doorway as we left. But if you get chance to go in there first thing would enjoy it I'm sure.
We finished up our shopping at M&S food and while there nipped to the cafe for lunch. We got a table fairly easily. They do a good selection of Plant powered salads for me in there, and Kev likes the filled flatbreads. We walked down to Broadmarsh bus station afterwards to get the bus home. For once we dropped lucky for a bus back, which makes a change.
