Did the first supermarket shop - wow wee! Great looking wines for under 6 pounds. Well know champagne more expensive here then in NZ(strange?) but champagne labels I haven't heard of are a lot cheaper.
Kids were pretty into it too - most unusual. A few comments about the kids energy levels from other customers(mostly quite fascinated - 'Does he stop talking, who winds him up'(positively referring to Lachlan)).
Supermarkets are more like 'one-stop-shops' - linen, appliances, clothes, tvs etc ...
Lots of 'new' food items to try to educate the kids about - although they display much less interest then I do.
Lots and lots of convenience meals of all cuisines - tempting to not cook at all.
Quite a lot of 'organic' and 'low fat' options.
Confectionery way too cheap for the kids and 'my' good!
Fantastic, Kerri. There's a British doco on at the moment called "The Peoples' Supermarket". Here's link to what it's all about - a cooperative. http://thepeoplessupermarket.org/portfolio/vitality-tv-the-tps-story/ You should check it out. Fortnum and Mason - I only got there a couple of times. Oooh and what about Cooks for Books… Do you think you'll go back to your old house and show Ollie his first house he lived in?

ReplyDeleteThanks for all your great comments. Will have a look at the doco link. Heading to Clapham on Wednesday to check out old haunts - movies(venn st) , dinner(Abbeville rd) and of course a walk down Lynette Ave. Not sure about 'Books for Cooks' - did this on the last trip with the kids(a disaster).
