I drive over to a shop in Nottingham and always go straight over for a drink in the diagonally opposite corner when I get there, taking in a quick look at all the lovely fabric etc as I go. There I sit and enjoy a drink but mostly a chat with the husbands waiting for wives etc. they are store mely now ledge able about their wives last project, colours they like to use and sewing machines, best shopes to go etc. I really enjoy my sit and chat. I usually say waiting most tell me they are driver and bag carrier some also say they are the bank. I have learnt how to use an iPad had ideas for projects best places to go to look at quilts all from husbands or boyfriends and no wife dashes over to grab them and take away. It's great because being single I love chatting to men which now adays I never do unless I go here.
Even my nephews have picked up working from my we are going fabric shopping.
