Hello, don't know if anyone can help me .........

I am going up to Blackpool & the Lake District (Keswick area) next week on holiday and of course I am in need of some great craft shops not only in that area but a good excuse to make the journey up there (and back) not so long & spend some money on route. I will be going up (will give you area's that would be easier for those who don’t' drive) passing Southend (as I am in Southend on Sat night with a friend) then over to ..........oh help I can't rem. Ok lets do the journey home that is easier as I am staying with relatives on route up.

Ok coming home from Blackpool the M6 down to Birmingham then the M40 to Oxford & then the A34 through Newbury.

If anyone has any great shops in any of the area's that you could pass onto me I would be grateful.

Hope to hear from you soon

Catch you later

Christine xx
