Today, we’re visiting Bicester Village, a collection of outlet stores of big clothes brands. This means: nice rebates but maybe not the latest or most popular pieces of their collections. It’s really beautiful here and the place is well looked after. It reminds us of Disney Village with the little fake houses and huts.

I buy nice shoes for the office for 40 pounds while Gabi discoveres a beauty cream she’d wanted for a long time that costs half price here. Perfect!

We don’t buy anything else. A lot of brands don’t interest us – Ralph Lauren seems to be the biggest point of interest here with not only one but three huges stores. We discover a Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts stall and have a bacon bagel and salt water beef sarnie here. Delicious!
