We actually managed to make it to Wigan despite my having another 4am migraine. This time I was on the ball and drank loads, had something to eat and took anti inflammatories to keep it in check, it worked and although we set off an hour later than planned we did make the journey. Once we'd dropped Dave's Luggie at the mobility place and borrowed a courtesy one from them we travelled the familiar short journey to Bents Garden and Home Emporium. The place was very busy and the only disabled parking was in front of the pet cafe, naturally Pip was in her element, she oohed and ahed at all the dogs and enjoyed looking at all the Christmas pet jumpers! Our first stop was the craft place where I purchased a pom pom maker set and four balls of Christmassy coloured yarn - the aim is to make a woolly garland for either the tree or to string in between the lounge and dining area.
It was nearing lunch time by this point so we stopped at one of the pop up food vans and bought a yummy curry complete with mini poppadoms and onion bhajis, it wasn't cheap but it was far safer to eat outside than queue for an hour for a seat in one of the two restaurants indoors. Having been recently we had no desire to battle the crowds so on the off chance rang the repair shop to see what progress if any had been made on the scooter. The upshot is the battery is kaput and they are still trying to work out what is wrong with the control panel, so we trundled back home with the Luggie on loan and will return in a few days.
My end of the day rag bag crumpled self 😂
