On the Bank Holdiay weekend, I walked up to town specially to see if the Card Factory shop was…read moreopen. After finding my card, I thought I would have a pot of tea in Denners Fashion shop. The cafe/restaurant is situated on the top floor and I was pleasantly surprised by the bright and welcoming decor. The staff were very friendly and obliging. I spent a while talking with the Mangeress and sharing some of the features of the restaurant that I felt were special. It was a good discovery and feel confident that you too would enjoy having a break there. Try it out. Global Nomad

Joining the…read moreDVD rental shop is free and very easy simply take some proof of your identity and proof of your address to join. They will take your details and record them onto a file. You will then receive a membership card. You can rent DVD's from diamond mine for 24 hours. The price of the DVD depends on how old it is whether it is new out and how popular the DVD is. They also have a section of old rental DVD's which they sell. The DVD's for sale are very reasonable priced. There is usually a women working in the shop she is very good at suggesting DVD's you might like. She has a lot of knowledge and has watched most of the DVD's they have in stock. I find it cheaper to buy a DVD and sell it after then rent it but in the past I have rented DVD's from Diamond Mine and I have never experienced any problems with them. They do not phone me or send me junk mails so overall I am happy with them

The manager here is especially fond of specimens, so she has made sure that a few choice, unusual pieces have made their way here. There is a special display of these in a type-setter's tray.

They are very sweet people in this shop. You will find that they will be as helpful as helpful can be.

They have a very large selection of necklaces, bracelets, ear rings, trinket boxes, clocks and watches. The staff are helpful and try to find the perfect item for you or your loved one.

I thought a weekend driving round the Somerset countryside would be most relaxing. Little did I know that Clarks had decided to build a huge outlet park in the middle of nowhere!! Then to add insult to injury, they charge you to park in the car park!! To be fair, there is a huge range of shops here with anything from Adidas to Next to Waterford Wedgewood. The discounts ranged from very generous to none and like most outlet places, you have to search hard and be disciplined to find true bargains rather than just buying rubbish because it's cheap and never wearing it If you feel your fuel levels flagging, there are food outlets like Burger King around OK I confess I did buy some shoes from Timberland and had to be dragged out of Le Creuset before I did something my credit card would regret! For you men, if you want to avoid shopping in the Mendip Hills, don't go to Street!

I was just browsing today but I suspect the lady in the shop would be very knowledgeable regarding specific queries. The shop itself is so jam-packed it could be a bit of a squeeze, but who cares! There is simply loads to see. For example there is an extensive array of the most beautiful 12x12 scrapbooking paper at 99p a sheet. It's a shop for specialised interests, with archival quality so is not going to be the cheapest craft place around, and you could probably get stuff slightly cheaper on line. But how great to have this place in Yeovil, to pop in, pick up some books, and be inspired. The shop also runs jewellery parties, either at your house or at the shop. Sounds great for a girlie night.
