The bakery had a sign outside which read “There may be a shortage of sourdough, cakes and coffee, please panic buy” which gave me an idea . . .

If a soft Italian leather biker jacket the colour of raspberry sorbet were not temptation enough, a 60% discount was just the shove I needed to channel my little-bit-dormant inner rock chick.
And then I bought my first non-elasticated trousers since massive abdominal surgery ten years ago.
It's high time I spoiled myself with a day of retail therapy, and so I did!
