I think I need to make a point of going in to them and getting used to what they're really like and what sort of clothes etc they sell.<br />Joyeaux fĂȘtes!Rozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374274472419508292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895089495404449507.post-90139187906732435852012-12-19T12:38:13.505+01:002012-12-19T12:38:13.505+01:00Glad you are feeling better Roz. Shopping problems...Glad you are feeling better Roz. Shopping problems are not just in your area. It is difficult to find many things here. In the US the high streets don't exist as shopping is done in malls as 'strip malls' which replaced downtown shops. 60km from you in Niort ther is a HUGE shopping area but all the stores are in separate buildings. I wish I could find a group of French/English speakers around here. What a excellent idea. My gran had a button collection in a lovely tin and I have my own now. Nice story.
