A sneak peek at the Christmas promo!

Hi there!

You may not thank me for reminding you but the days are getting shorter, autumn is well on its way and this weekend sees our early-bird Christmas shopping event, with Sunday 25^th marking just three months until we tuck into turkey and Christmas pud. (If you join us over the weekend I believe you WILL thank me, when you see what we have to offer you!)

It's funny who you bump into..

Hi everybody!

It’s funny who you bump into when you take the dog for a walk. And I do mean funny.

Enjoying a stroll along the River Thames on Saturday morning, I spotted a man in a wetsuit emerging from a morning swim in the murky waters. He was surrounded by several boats and canoes, and a hundred people or so. 

Then I realised it wasn’t just a casual swim – this was comedian David Walliams in the middle of his epic challenge to swim the length of the River Thames from Lechlade to Westminster – 140 miles in all.
