Miracles do happen!

Yes, they do! For the first time in...oh, years...Keith went shopping (not Tesco!) on a Saturday! And it was at his suggestion! I initially looked at him in horror...Milton Keynes on a wet Saturday...are you mad? But I relented as we really needed to get Mikey's trousers for school sorted out as none of the pairs I've bought him so far have fitted...I have them stacked up everywhere in the house, awaiting return. And I thought I was being so clever ordering them online as well! And the even more annoying thing was that I couldn't return the original pairs to the John Lewis store as I used a credit card with a forgotten pin number...

So, off we went in the mizzle and took the back route to MK, along the Newport Pagnell road so I could drool over the Aston Martins. Milton Keynes was surprisingly quiet and we parked easily and made straight for M&S where Keith escorted a complaining Mikey into the changing rooms and sorted out the trousers once and for all.

To make up for the stress, I treated the family to drinks and a bit of cake in Debenhams and then we made our way slowly, and thankfully home, via Olney and Castle Ashby. Just as the sun was coming out!
