It’s our first 2026 trip and we are off to Boundary Mill in Colne, Lancashire. This is a large, very popular Designer Outlet selling just about anything you want or need from Ladies/Gents fashions, travel accessories, an M and S outlet etc.etc. all at competitive prices. Easter is coming up so maybe treat yourself. There are 4 places to choose from to eat all providing coffee, food, Banny’s their fish n chips cafe plus an Ice Cream venue. THEN we are off to Farmhouse Biscuits Factory Shop an Outlet for their factory which is close by. It’s family owned and they started off as Farmers making biscuits in their kitchen which they expanded to selling on  local markets and look at them today. The biscuits are still hand finished. There is a wide range of competitively priced delicious biscuits (sweet and savoury), some in gift presentation packs.  Sugar/Gluten free are available as are vegan. They have promised tasters for us.
