Today it was Dunelm.

I'd never heard of it before a thread where he and Pet mentioned it (and Cute n Sassy mentioned Trago Mills).

Well, £300+ later... Bussy, you have a lot to answer for.

"Is it not nationwide then? You can't beat a bit of Dunhelm

I first noticed them down here about three years ago. They may have been here before but they all seem to be on retail parks on major roads that I don't go to.

I will have to avoid them though as I have a bit of a bed linen addiction.

I love a day out to Dunhelm Mill. I could wander round there for ages.

Ooo, it didn't have an 'h' or a 'Mill'. Maybe they are different places. Off to the Google I go...

I've driven past that one.

The Google says no 'h' and the 'Mill' is not always used and they have 150 shops and the Pausa coffee shop in 40 of them.

I bought blinds and curtains and furniture. I didn't dare look at anything else after that or I might have broken the piggy bank.

The other thing Bussy introduced me to was crumpet bread from Greenhalgh's Bakery.

I've never met Bussy but I now take all his recommendations very seriously.

I would to be sure

They do keep a few tables for people just turning up but there is normally a wait and the more there are of you ...

If you are in that general area, Nutters Restaurant also does lovely afternoon tea (and even better has a crap mobile signal) so you can indulge in peace

Bussy, seriously, meeting you and Pet at somewhere called Nutters would be totally appropriate.
