Closer To Home ...
“It’s a bit like how the International Stores used to be”, I said to K, immediately realising that she had probably never heard of them.
It wasn’t until many years after it closed that I realised that there were many International Stores across the country and that Mr and Mrs White who lived up from the road from my Mum and Dad weren’t incredibly rich as a result of owning the largest shop in the town.
After yesterdays trip into London we had decided to stay closer to home doing less exciting things today. The farm shop was certainly a change from those we had seen yesterday in St. James.
After the subtle product placement, lighting and careful displays of Sainsbury’s this store was a refreshing change. Vegetables ran into cheeses which sat next to a mixture of dry goods which flowed into things for the garden and hanging baskets.
No pressure selling, misshapen vegetables and bratwurst from Germany, Mr White would be proud.
