Bye bye Blankie
... was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and there wasn't much wind. So I walked around for about an hour before I found the mall in Basingstoke (surprise! Ashley shopping? Neverrrrrr... haha). It was quite big and was packed full of people trying to do their Christmas shopping. The only store worth mentioning is Primark, the store with the onesies. I bought a fleece reindeer onesie that has feet, a tail and a hood with reindeer horns on it! I went back to the flat happy to ...

Made a quick stop at a narrow road bridge for some photos. After Monmouth, we wound our way through ...
Go west Mann - to the countryside
... and then onto Marlborough market. Everything was so inexpensive compared to London! Imagine having a choice of any 3 cheeses for 1GBP. I got Brie, a Camembert like, and goats milk herbed cheese to take back to London. We picked up a few things for lunch and then it was off to Jane's.
