Started off in Folkestone to get Clare some glasses. The optometrist there is a friend of ours and gave us a good discount. The glasses in Specsavers were a lot cheaper than I was expecting anyway, so Clare got new glasses, lightweight, rimless, very nice looking, plus some prescription sunglasses. I was expecting a huge bill, but quite pleased with the result. Then I got some other DIY bits and pieces, some oil for the dining table and some more for the bench outside, going to spend the day oiling the woodwork tomorrow, how exciting. Then off to Ashford! We had lunch at Pizza Express at the outlet centre, very nice but very busy. Then drove across Ashford to John Lewis and spent a few hours just browsing, then had a lovely tea break in their cafe, then came home. Spent a lot less money than I might have done, a very successful day I would say...
