Christmas Notes

Argh!

Its the first week of September. The sun is shining. Its the first week of the new school year. Everyone is just back from their summer holidays, all relaxed and tanned.

So, what's on the supermarket shelves? 

Christmas stuff. This selection box was spied in the Co-op /Somerfield in Aberystwyth. I had to check to see if it was early for this Christmas or left over from last Christmas.

In the good old days, the Crimbo rush didn't start until after Bonfire Night or Halloween. Talk about wishing our lives away. 

Shopping Notes

Finally got a chance to spend a little time at the new St Davids 2 shopping centre in Cardiff. Its an enormous extension to the existing shopping centre covering the area that used to be home to Toys R Us, the Library and the Ice Rink. Its now a development to rival Birmingham’s Bullring or Liverpool One.

Whilst not all of the shops and eateries are not open yet, it was very busy. Recession, what recession?
