Can you believe it? I went to the shop with my wife...
Take note, I didn't go shopping...I just went with...lol.
Yes, I hate shopping. If I have to go buy something, I know exactly what I need. I'll go into the shop, head straight for whatever it is I need, and I'll be out of there before you know it...lol.
Well...I needed to buy some vitamin supplements (which is something I would do quite regularly) and my wife had to do some shopping. The weather around here didn't really give us much opportunity to get out for other outings to take photos lately.
So, I decided I'll join my wife in going to the shops this time. But, I would be heading for the vitamins and getting out. Then, while she is doing the shopping, I would take some photos of the "market-related" area...
Where I would have no problem going in though, would be at the nursery, as we needed to get some potting soil for the garden. So, that was also on the agenda.
So, our first stop was at Hillcrest Corner. We parked in the basement of the building and as we approached the staircase leading up to the ground floor, I took this photo, showing some Christmas decorations along the way.
Inside the complex, it was not really as busy as I expected it to be and I was able to get some shots with my mobile phone of the decorations inside.
It happened to be that Santa Clause was also doing his shopping there...lol.
From there we headed over to the Hillcrest Centre.
Looking to the left, the Italian Restaurant, Papa Giovanni's seemed to be quite busy.
The rest of the Hillcrest Centre, looking toward the right.
From there we stopped at two more shopping complexes. I got some photos, but nothing I feel is really special...besides looking at the outside of a shop.
At the second shopping complex, there was some colorful wall art under a bridge. I took quite a few photos there and I will do a post with that as a theme shortly.
Our next stop for the day was the nursery to get the potting soil.
I found this to be a welcoming picture as we stepped into the nursery.
Just behind them were these orchids.
Going further into the nursery, we found a cozy little "Coffee Park".
Just around the corner, there was this friendly play area for the little ones.
The owners of this nursery clearly take a keen interest in developing our kid's interest and passion for the outdoors...something I highly appreciate!
We found this section which is focusing on children developing an interest in gardening.
We found the potting soil we were looking for. It cost us R40.00 ($2.28) and the we were heading back home.
So, that's it for today, folks!
Thank you for reading my post. I do appreciate it!
