The Magic of Marks and Spencer
 

I went into Guildford today to do some shopping. It was a grey day,
though very mild. I went into M&S around 1:30. I was only in there for
fifteen minutes, but when I emerged I was astonished to find that it was
a beautiful sunny afternoon. The blue skies did not last all that long,
and within a couple of hours it was overcast once more.
