Today was a lovely day after such an exhausting week at work. I worked at least 70 hours last week - maybe more? Anyways - I was happy to turn in for some NON-WORK fun. This led me to Winchester - which is south west of Guildford. The train ride was just under an hour to get there - so pretty close. I was recommended to go here by a co-worker and since I didn't have any other plans - why not?
The town was very similar to Guildford I felt. Same size - maybe smaller and similar types of shops. The first shop I went into is called BLACKS and it's sort of a similar store to Dick's sporting goods only WAY smaller. they have outdoor gear etc. I checked out their TRAINERS since I needed a pair. They had an excellent sale going on and I got a pair of walking new balance trainers for 20 QUID! I was very excited and cannot wait to wear them out tomorrow. After my shopping - I already had 1 too many bags on my hand so I figured I better see the sights first and then carry on with shopping. I went to this old ruins of a castle and then checked out the Cathedral! The cathedral wasn't too much to look at from the outside, so of course once I stepped inside I was rather shocked by it's beauty! I walked around there for about 30 minutes or so. Very nice! After this and a little more walking around I headed back to Guildford and still had time to stop at the fruit market in town for some cheap eats for the week.
I went out for some fruit - dropped it off at home and then went back out to buy myself some knickers! LOL.
