Christmas Shopping

 

Christmas Shopping

Wendy then reminded us that John Lewis is open until 8.00 p.m., so we decided it would be a good idea to find another parking space in Liverpool 1, and take the opportunity to have a look round the shop. Their Christmas Store is also open, and we were on the hunt for a new Christmas tree! We had seen lots of trees that looked suitable on-line, but we like to see things on display, and make sure they are exactly what we are looking for. 

We had a magical couple of hours in John Lewis, spoiled for choice by all the Christmas trees on display. However, we knew pretty much what we wanted, and soon whittled it down to a six-footer, with a little pre-lighting already place. We didn't want a tree completely decorated with lights, as we want to add our own, but we reckoned it would be a good idea to get one with a basic set already fitted.

They also had the most luxurious tinsel garlands, and a set of lights that looked like a string of beads - very pretty indeed; they also went in to our basket, and then I saw a red squirrel, with such a sweet expression, I couldn't resist taking him home as well. 

Wendy and Bob went off to collect the tree from the collection area, whilst I went back to the mirrors and pictures department, and had a restful sit down! 

What a successful day it had been; seeing a good friend, enjoying Christmas shopping, and all achieved with the minimum of fuss.
