点评:Wednesday 7th May 2025, My husband and I drove up Willington in Derbyshire to meet our friend Janet. We had decided to meet at Mercia Marina; this was our fifth visit here. The day was bright, warm and sunny, the sun shone and the boats on the marina looked wonderful with the sun shining on the water.
Both of us had arrived here early as we had wanted to look round the really nice boutique shops which are situated around the marina. Since our last visit quite a few of the shops have changed and some old favourites were not there anyone. Zing had closed down due to retirement and the Plant Shop too had closed.
We all met and then went to look round the shops. Jan visited a nice ‘shop called ‘By Design’ where she purchased a designer ring and some pearl earrings. We then went into a shop called ‘White Finn’, where Jan purchased a orange, white and blue designer ‘T’ shirt. We then went into ‘Be Well’ which is a really nice shop with nice things to buy Jan purchased a beautiful pink, white and blue long silken jacket, which looked really elegant on her. I did not purchase anything as none of the clothes were in my size.
We then strolled along the boardwalk and looked at the various shops and we went into ‘The Beetroot Café’, where were purchased ice creams made by the local Bluebell Company. Jan had a double chocolate cone, Mark had a blueberry cone and I had a millionaire’s shortbread cone.
We took these outside and sat on a bench and Jan had a deck chair and we sunbathed and chatted in the warm sun for a couple of hours and caught up on all our new and gossip.
We had a lovely visit to Mercia Marina.
翻译:2025年5月7日,星期三,我和丈夫驱车前往德比郡的威灵顿,去见我们的朋友珍妮特。我们约好在麦西亚码头见面;这是我们第五次来这里了。天气晴朗,阳光明媚,温暖宜人,阳光洒在水面上,码头上的船只显得格外美丽。
我们俩很早就到了这里,因为我们想逛逛码头周围的精品店。自从上次来之后,很多商店都变了,一些以前常去的店也关门了。Zing因为员工退休而关门了,Plant Shop也关门了。
我们见面后,就一起逛了逛商店。简去了一家名为“By Design”的漂亮商店,在那里她买了一枚设计师戒指和几副珍珠耳环。然后我们去了一家名为“White Finn”的商店,简在那里买了一件橙、白、蓝三色的设计师T恤。然后我们去了“Be Well”,这是一家很棒的商店,有很多好东西可以买。Jan买了一件漂亮的粉白蓝三色长款丝绸夹克,穿在她身上非常优雅。我什么也没买,因为没有一件衣服是我的尺码。
然后我们沿着木板路漫步,逛了逛不同的商店,然后去了“The Beetroot Café”,在那里买了当地蓝铃花公司生产的冰淇淋。Jan点了一个双倍巧克力甜筒,Mark点了一个蓝莓甜筒,我点了一个百万富翁酥饼甜筒。
我们把冰淇淋拿到外面,坐在长椅上,Jan坐在躺椅上,我们在温暖的阳光下晒了几个小时的太阳,聊了聊彼此的新鲜事和八卦。
我们在Mercia Marina度过了愉快的时光。
