Oh the many happy hours I have spent out and about in various towns looking at the boutiques and smaller clothing outlets.  I love trying on clothes – it must be said that I would be buying so many more if the purse strings were just that bit more relaced!  However, there is a way of shopping for me that doesn’t actually involve the traipsing around from shop to shop, although an absolute joy, it can be time and energy sapping.

I browse the online sites for clothes, gifts and anything that is needed right now and today – the world is literally at my fingertips and I can browse any site that takes my fancy – at the moment I tend to discriminate in a positive way towards those that allow me to fund raise for a particular local charity.  But for the joy of human contact, I still need retail therapy!
