At the weekend I was at Salt's Mill

Now, if you've been you'll know it's a totally amazing day out

Not only can you dine, shop and enjoy amazing art you can browse the shop that's full of amazing antiques

I always to buy homeware and books and have ordered this

I adore children's books, the choice there is honestly one of the best I have seen

I collect and really really wanted this book, however, I'd already bought another!
