We went to Bicester today, with my mum and Simon's mum

I bought Ugg boots for Christmas from Simon and a lovely jumper from All Saints. Minnie got some new winter boots and a Paul Smith t shirt

A few other bits and pieces meant there were plenty of bags to bring home

We road tested this backpack harness with received s thumbs up

Minnie loved the trees and reindeers. it makes me wonder how she will be with our tree when it goes up this weekend! Gulp! She walked and walked miles, people are lovely and so many of them stopped to chat. One lady even asked Minnie's advice on which scarf to choose!

When we got home mum was straight back on the road to drive home to Cornwall - it's nice to see them but nice to have our home back to ourselves too
