That's a nice way to do the shopping Piskie! I think I went to the botanic gardens there years ago, is it where they have a big glasshouse near the river? I need a new vac. as well, looking for something light, powerful, bagless,pull-along type & cheap- I don't ask much. Going to look in Lidl next week, they have one on offer from next Thursday for £39.95.

OBG does have a glass-house near the river, yes.

We stood still by one of the really large trees (planted in c1600!!!) and two robins buzzed us, one of which came right onto the floor and walked around our feet - honest and then a tiny wee Wren seemed to be following us along the trees singing for England - awwww

Boring hoover thingy:
I got an electrolux for £75, tis small, cute, pull-along and bagless

That's a good way of making a boring job a bit more interesting

Oh Girls! ..... Buy a HENRY and I promise you, you'll never look back! It's not bagless, but I've had mine at least 20 years and it's never once broken down, failed me, had an affair, tossed me over for another bloke, and every time you have to put another bag in him, the suction is as good as it was 20 years ago.
What more could a woman want?
OOOH! the garden sounded a bit good tho'.......
