Despite our walk yesterday we were out again today but we just took the route through the village and then out onto the single track road. We had to keep jumping onto the verge as people were off to work but it was still very pleasant and the weather was lovely.
We walked for 40 minutes, turned around and walked back home. My legs were aching a bit but it felt good to be out so early. Back home we all had showers and at midday Sophie and I went over to check Mum and Dad's house before going to the Weston Favell Centre as I had an eye health check appointment at Boots.
My eyes were thoroughly checked and everything was fine, which was great. My prescription had hardly changed so the optician said I wouldn't need to go back for two years! From the Weston Favell Centre Sophie and I drove to Farndon Fields Farm Shop where we indulged in a delicious lunch of sandwiches and chunky chips. Naughty, but very nice!
We were on the hunt for a heart for August (and September) for the conservatory and had a good look in Market Harborough. Sophie bought some clothes and a pair of shoes in New Look and from there we went to Accessorize where she bought a new backpack for uni. She needed it to be big enough to fit her laptop in and it looked perfect.
We eventually found a new heart in a gorgeous little shop selling things for the home. It had four birds on it, sitting in a tree, so was perfect! We now need four heart candle holders for the rest of the year - let's hope they're not too difficult to find!
Before going home Sophie treated me to an ice-cream sundae in Gallone's. It was very quiet with only a couple of mums treating their children to an after-school ice-cream. We sat and enjoyed our sundaes and then waddled off back to the car to drive home.
Feeling a bit guilty for over-indulging I strimmed the front verge and tidied the garden when we got home. Sophie sat on the step and kept me company and Monty wasn't far away either. Luckily he didn't run across the road in front of any cars!
