Before they finally bid a fond farewell to Cheltenham, Darrell just had to have a leisurely mooch round his very favourite emporium of choice dans Cheltenham, Søstrene Grene .......
......... while Nigel decided to "do" Poundland across the road!
It's a store, according to Darrell, that is almost too romantically set out for words, with lots of little nooks and crannies, so you don't know what's going to meet you round the corner, all displaying some very beautiful items, that he says just make him want to stroke them all longing and lovingly ........
.... from the craft shelves, to the all beguilling, select home decor bits and pieces.
He likes to gather up his ideas and then make a few small, much considered purchases, to either, he says, "Help enhance the magic of The Towers" or put towards a few creative projects he has in mind, because, how on earth can he resist the rows and rows of rainbow coloured acrylic paint, that never fail to call to his heart whenever he goes in.
As for Nigel, over in the aforementioned Poundland ....... well, he emerged just as happy as Larry Darrell, although he considered purchases of spare batteries, sticky foam pads and some new highlighter pens might not seem to be quite as exotic! What on earth are they both like?

Two rather different shops.
Me? My favourite shop? Off the top of my head, "Harold's." Or Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
The "Harold's" food halls are great to take a posh picnic to Hyde Park.
Oh I looked at Sostrene Grene online - oh my word some beauties in there alright - but good old poundland - purchase on a budget and still bit left over for a Mackie D's. JantheFan x
