Throughout my life I have been scolded by my children and now Eden has started to do the same. Why do I find myself in trouble with them? It's easy. I complain if something is wrong! It doesn't matter whether it's branches overhanging pavements that nearly poke my eyes out, bad service in a shop or something that falls to pieces the first time it is used or worn.
This morning was a bit different though because I really didn't expect the outcome that I got.
When I retired last July I bought myself a leather shoulder bag from Clarks, the shoe shop when I was buying Eden a pair of shoes for school. It was the most expensive bag that I have ever bought and it's absolutely perfect. Nothing has fallen to pieces or broken on it so I expect you are wondering why I complained.
Well, I didn't exactly complain, I just wanted to find out what I could do about the problem. When Eden was with me last week she pointed out that the front of the bag looked olive green. At first we thought it might be the light but it was the same in any light. Not too much of a problem but as I had paid a lot for the bag, I decided to go into Clarks and show them.
The lady that I saw was as puzzled as I was and she tried a little cream polish on the flap but it made no difference. So she said they would replace it and asked me to take a seat while she removed the packaging from a brand new one which she then gave to me so that I could take my things out of the one I bought last year and change it over.
Three cheers for Clarks! I never expected that and I think that's just about the very best of customer service, especially as I didn't have the original receipt.
NEWS FLASH: Whizzy the woodmouse must have had babies because when I went out to pick some mint this afternoon, I frightened this tiny wee thing the size of a small cotton wool ball and it tried to hide behind a flower pot!
