Shopping Shopping Shopping


Everytime I return to the UK a whole day ( at least !!) is set aside for shopping !.

A whole day from 10.00am until 6.00pm is spend in one of the huge shopping centres that are littered across the UK. Although I love rural France, and one of its charms is that it does not boast the copious amounts of commercialism that we have in the UK , one of my greatest pleasures when I return to the UK to enjoy this pure raw commercialism.

I have tried to explain the wonderful concept of a Shopping Centres to my French friends but they either look at me blankly and wonder why one would want to spend the whole day under cover shopping in the 300 or so shops on offer, or they shudder with obvious displeasure at the very thought !!
