THE 10 RULES OF RETAIL THERAPY

The advent of a new season is a bit like a shiny new toy promising new inspiration, new ideas and a new energy

“Research, reconnaissance, reward” is my shopping motto.   Picture: Mr Galeforce

MARCH is one of my favourite months of the year:  The days get a little shorter, and the mornings and evenings a little fresher. 

So come February, it’s research, reconnaissance and reward.
