Today I staked out the new 4th floor that John Lewis have installed this week and artfully filled with baby gear. I know it is a new floor since it definitely didn't exist the last time i was there. I remember the furniture floor and the high-tech floor but to my best recollection there was no meaningful structure between the two. John Lewis must have worked like crazy to get this open and staffed for my first visit. For the novice zayde this was a disorienting experience. Rack after rack of fashion items helpfully divided by age and sex. So, for me it 0-3months girl's section. A very nice sales woman steered me towards packs of sleep suits - pinafore dresses can wait - and I chose a very nifty organic 'swaddle' gro-bag'. It sounded a bit like the sort of thing you buy at garden centres to encourage the marrows to flourish. Packaging was very 'organic' and a snip at a tenner!
I then drifted through to the 'baby transport' dept and was delighted that I had made a good choice buying the bugaboo online from the nice people at lullabys ( I give them a plug for their helpful communications). In fact they get a 'solly star of excellence'. I think I have saved myself 100 quid over the John Lewis price as lullabies throw in a 'cabrilo' which is a car seat but sounds like a 'cabriolet' car (clever that). So off to see MTJG...
