Met dd at Vaughan Mills, to do a bit of shopping. It is an indoor mall, and I think it must be around 2 years since I was last there. It's a decent sized mall all on one floor with a good mix of shops. Unlike my closest indoor mall there were very few, if any empty store fronts. I was quite surprised about that, as the retail industry has suffered a lot due to the pandemic.
As it was a Thursday and in the morning when we met up, it wasn't too busy at all. I don't think I would feel the same on a weekend though. You felt quite safe as everyone wore masks. We ate our lunch in the food court and again very safe. It was cordoned off and you have to show your vaccination certificate, along with identification to be able to sit down in there. The tables were spaced apart and someone was cleaning there all the time.
I was able to finish off all the grand children their Christmas presents other than the baby. Part of his gift is a box of diapers and the way he is growing I will pick them up closer to the time. His parents suggested that, as he has no need for anything else.
Dd then bought my Christmas gift from her and her brother. It is a purse/handbag from this wall of goodies in Kate Spade!!! She took it home with her and as I pointed out, I will have forgotten about it by the time Christmas comes along. They were having a super sale right throughout the store.

I’m always amazed how far I walk in town. Earlier this week in York a stroll from the station to an exhibition and back via a coffee shop and lunch stop with a walk on the city walls clocked up over 3 miles without even trying. At least it justified the cake that accompanied the coffee!
I've heard of it; just never been there.
I haven't been to Vaughan Mills in years. When they first opened, I remembered trying out a new crepes place/kiosk.
That's smart to get your Christmas shopping done early!
