Finally the weekend. Dawn, who had been stuck in for 3 days, was getting cabin fever and wanted to get out of the house. She still didn't have ideal footwear, but we thought that if we could get a bus into town she could get some there. Just our luck the bus did not come to our bus stop because of the snow so we decided to walk in to town anyway.
First stop was Millets and they had sold out of wellies and any other boot we could have bought. Leaving the store I slipped on ice and ended up on my backside. Thankfully the next store we tried had a pair of snow boots that fitted Dawn perfectly. I even got myself a pair of boots. Best of all they didn't cost us anything. We used the money Dad gave us for Christmas.
We ran several errands, stopped at Starbucks for a coffee, and grabbed a light lunch at The White Hart before doing our grocery shopping in Waitrose. Then we headed back home with a backpack each and a woven bag in each hand. On the way Dawn came up with the bright idea that we should do this every weekend, and even walk to the station, too. It would improve our carbon footprint, help us lose weight, and hopefully get us fit, too. So watch this space.
