Bedford, UK


I recently went on a road trip with my friend Samantha.  She LOVES Cath Kidston.  I had never heard of this shoppe before, so was intrigued to learn more about it.  We visited the outlet store so she could find some great bargains.  It's known as a "purse" store.  HERE is a link.  

What cute items!  They were a bit "flowery" for my taste, but still had fun perusing the items.  In talking to the checkout employee, we found that the village it was by, St. Neots, didn't have much to offer.  She recommended a neighboring town of Bedford.
So we hopped in the car and punched the info into the Sat Nav (that's british for GPS).  Off we went!

What a hidden gem Bedford is!  The River Ouse runs thru the town.  Population is about 30K, modern buildings, old churches, shopping (see photo of a shoe that made us giggle at TK Maxx) -- I had to try it on!
...what a great time we had.  Lunch was a Nando's!!  LOVE LOVE LOVE Nandos!!

Here's a plaque by the bridge over the River Ouse:



This is a sign by St. Paul's Church


Check out this sign below.  Twenty-four kids???  Oh my GOSH - no wonder her name was Patience!!!!!



We had a window view from Nando's of the river.


What a great time!
