Brunch in Bicester

I've driven North today to spend a few days with my girls as its Scarlett's birthday on Sunday, so I'd arranged to meet CharlotteJ for lunch in Warwick en-route.

I was awake at 6am so decided to get up and head out early and take the opportunity to stop off at Bicester Shopping Village to see if I could get some new boots. When I was on the M25 there were signs saying that the M40 was closed between junctions 15 & 16 which is Warwick, so I called Charlotte and she said she'd come and meet me in Bicester for brunch instead.

We took the boys for a walk but quickly found out that Bicester isn't dog friendly at all, not only are they not allowed in the shops, they're not allowed anywhere in the village! So they had a walk around the car park before being left in the car (with the windows open slightly).

Brunch became an early lunch as the breakfast menu finished at 11.30 and the time just flew as we had so much to chat about. I was conscious about the boys in the car, and still had another two hours to drive so couldn't stay too long, but it was lovely to see her again.

As for the shopping, I bought a pair of UGGS reduced from £165 to £80 so I'm very happy with my bargain :-)

I'm now at Rachel's for a couple of hours and am then going to stay the night with my friend Alison, but I'll be back with my girls tomorrow morning until Sunday.

Just noticed the trees coming out of our heads lol!
