I returned to Bristol yesterday from a very lovely weekend in rural Dorset. My family had a reunion/get together at the beautiful Dove House - a 7 bedroom holiday home complete with an indoor heated pool and games room, situated at the end of a mile long tree-lined drive. I had intended to spend the weekend reading and relaxing - but there was too much to do! And instead discovered a talent for croquet - and an inability to play tennis.
One thing on my weekend to-do list that I did manage to achieve, was a trip into Dorchester to check out Wellworths - the old Woolworths store that has since been taken over by it’s old manager and been brought back to life.
Within minutes of being inside the store’s doors - I was picking up bargains! Palmolive shower gel and Colgate Toothpaste for just £1 each (depsite walking in and saying “what are toiletries doing in a shop like this?”). The gardening section also came in very handy, and I thought each “department” was laid out very clearly and neatly; no amibuity as to where something should be.
The girl who served us was extremely friendly and the shop was buzzing with customers (as was Dorcester as a whole on that day), so all in all - depsite forgetting to get some Pick ‘n’ Mix - I rate Wellworths very highly and wish them continued success!
