Sophie wasn't at work today so it was a great opportunity to go shopping in Market Harborough, something we haven't done for ages.
The forecast for the Bank Holiday weekend was supposed to have been hot and sunny but we woke to grey skies and then a heavy downpour of rain. It was lovely to laze around for a couple of hours without having to worry about getting Sophie up so she could be ready for work.
We drove over to Market Harborough at around 1pm and made for Cafe Nero first for lunch. From there Sophie headed for New Look where she managed to spend £50 in about ten minutes! The shop was full of winter clothing...but miraculously I haven't seen any signs of Christmas yet! Give it a week or so!
It was great to wander around the shops and the threatened dark clouds held off so we didn't get drenched as I thought we would. On the way home we took the single track road through Harrington and Draughton and just as we were about to turn back onto the main road a convoy of combine harvesters and tractors turned onto the road we'd been on...I would not have been happy to have met them on the narrow track!
Sophie and I spent the early evening watching a documentary film about a missing boy in the US turning up in Spain (called The Imposter) which was an hour and a half of my life I will never get back! Dinner was roast pork as the rain clouds were still around - we'll leave the barbecue until tomorrow!
