Blakemere.

On Sunday my Mum dragged me out of bed to go visit what I thought she meant was Cheshire Oaks the shopping centre, we didn’t nearly go as far and ended up at Blackemere shopping centre which is more like a craft centre but if that’s what they like to be called I’ll let them.

The best two things about the day was the Ice cream, I had honeycomb and was a joy, being the first sunny day this year in the North West I was happy sitting on the little bench in the courtyard ignoring the hundreds of kids being screamed at by their Mums, trying not to think “When I have kids I wouldn’t be letting them do that..”.

The second best bit was the aquatics part, Hundreds of fish and other animals too, my mum was rather fond of the tortoise and nearly bought one? She was so close but we realized there isn’t enough space for its little house thing. Here are a few photos of the animals.

One for my Mum:

As you can see when the nice sales person brought out the snake to show the kids I ran off to the fish section – I draw the line at snakes!

There was also some very amusing furniture and nick nack stores I’ve found these two the funniest of the day:

A weird spikey set of animals – the camel was best.

A wooden Bob the Builder – Obviously someone’s put a lot of effort into this but is really scary!

All in all Blakemere is definately a shopping experience that I’d advise you should all visit if you’re bored or stuck for idea’s on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Like me you should definately end it in the pub watching England win a Rugby match with a pint.
