There are many new shopping experiences coming on stream these days.  From out of town designer villages where you can find every imainable style and label ever desired down to a brand new shopping complex developed over what used to be gravel pits and now a very large wildlife country park area – combined with urgan shopping.  Amazing.  The shops should be quite a draw for every type of person out there.

Seeing your town highlighted on a national tv weekly magazine programme is so fantastic – as was this lake side development.  The nationally recognised presenter did seem genuinely thrilled and amazed at the size and diversity of it all.   We also had the benefit of experts in the world of wildlife explaining the thinking behind this unique scheme.  So busy was it all that I came back down to earth with my reliable browsing and online shopping trick.
