Fly south for the winter

Nice day for a trip to a local town, and abit of shopping...

I must stress that although I may appear to be a shoppaholic, for me it is more of a theraputic thing than anything else. It is not healthy being couped up in the house so whenever I can venture out, I do!

When I was at Uni I had some crappy stuff that I went through, and when I moved into flats that were literally in town (Back of WH Smiths to be precise) in my third year, I would take a walk around town every chance I got. I didn't have to buy anything, that wasn't the point really, it was more of a way of focusing my mind on my walk and the journey I took, than any problems I had bugging me at the time. Also, I love shopping alone. I am happy in my own skin and truth be told, I can't shop properly with others, as I tend to go into happy helper/personal shopper mode.

When I shop I take at least 3 hours, try on everything so I don't expect others to wait around for me, and this is why I assist them rather than let them help me...coz I don't buy the first time I visit a shop...No, I go back after I've seen everything that's out there. Always compare and contrast, then maybe I'll buy it.

So theres an insight into the world of me and why I love to and have to shop...:)

Oh and this is my local pond which is looking abit better these days...
