🙂 Yay! This was such good news to read this morning in the ol’ Grauniad – apparently Marks & Spencer is planning to open 150 new stores overseas. Oh please please please let one of them be in Sevilla!

Here’s the article I read: Marks & Spencer

Since they closed the M&S in Sevilla back in 2001 I’ve had no decent place to buy underwear, socks, tights, cotton t-shirts, natural fibre sweaters, mince pies at Christmas time and . . . oh just all sorts of simple basic things, you know?

There is an M&S in Gibraltar, about a 2 1/2 hour drive from here, and I almost got there once My Almost Trip To Gibraltar . But since I didn’t I then had to get my friend Karl in England to send me M&S knickers by post – I was a desperate woman. And now it looks like those dark desperate days may finally be drawing to a close . . .
