out of season


The weather was funny the first time...and from behind a window, with the fire on, wrapped in a pashmina and wearing 'improved fur' M&S ugg-style slippers. This morning, in the car, across various Wiltshire hills, it was just bleururururughh. Fog, hail, fog and ice. Nasty.
I went to a meeting. So far, so uncreative. However, I remembered a fantastic treasure I'd discovered on the way back from a meeting at the same place over two years ago. I took a detour on the way home.
It's a kind of mini-rural-shopping heaven....
There's a fabulous papercrafting shop: http://www.potatopatchcrafts.co.uk/
And there's a wonderful cafe slash homeware slash vintage shop http://www.mipo.co.uk/
There's also a plant nursery and I think some other things.
If you're ever travelling between Devizes and Andover, look out for it. It's a find, a rural hotspot of retail therapy and the coffee is fantastic.

I've got the Ugg style slippers too - and have been very glad of them lately! Yes, horrid and bleurgh this morning - went for a run and it was like a skating rink and then foggy... of course the sun came out when I got in! Thank you for dropping by, I look forwards to reading more of your posts.
