Worshipping the retail gods of shopping.
Like many families we do have our own little family routines. My kids are all grown up, and my wife and I tend to do our own thing on Saturday - she often helps out my daughter who is the manager of a local charity shop . . . and I don't. But on Sunday, barring unusual circumstances we go out to a car boot sale - most of the time accompanied by at least one of our five children and at least one of our grandchildren. We leave early in the morning, and once we've done the boot sale, then we have a cooked breakfast in the Toby carvery. Often, that's it. However it's not unknown for us to go to the Designer Outlet on the way home. Today we went because of the offer from the Build A Bear Workshop - long story. Now, I'll be honest, I don't like McArthur Glen. I don't like shopping generally. Still, at least I was able to sit on a bench and make this composite sketch as my wife and the kids were doing whatever it is that they do in the shops.
