Never too old

Or, it's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks!

Went into Lidl today for, I think, the second time since it opened about 4 years ago!

I went in with Mam to get something fine to eat from their in-house bakery, because I had heard they make baked goodies to kill for.

Suffice it to say, it's just as well Mam carries a shopping bag in her handbag at all times. By the time we left, the bag was full to overflowing!

I was pleasantly surprised by the range of things they keep. My crew are a fussy lot, but a lot of the things I normally buy were there....along with some that may well become "normal", namely the most delicious sorbets ever!!

Mam had the great idea of writing the prices of stuff off my Dunnes receipt next to the items on my shopping list, so that I can compare prices as I shop! So, I'm going to do my next big shop in Lidl, and see if I can get everything I need.

K, of course, is delighted!!

Today I am grateful that this old dog has been taught a new trick, and learnt that having a closed mind can shut you off from all sorts of experiences!!

Thanks Mam!!

Gratefully yours.
