Our nearest Ikea at home is in Milton Keynes. We've wondered about going as Sara is a big fan, but never got round to it. We woke to rain again and the family trip to Mooloolabba and the beach was postponed. The boys weren't keen on a shopping trip but they were over-ruled. Sara drove us two and Mike took the boys. By the time decisions had been made, Mike had vaccuumed and everyone was ready, the first stop on arrival at Ikea was the cafe for lunch. It was heaving. The long queue didn't seem to take long though. They are very famous for their Swedish Meatballs -called Kottbullar - which can be bought as 10, 15 or 20. I had 10 which was plenty. They come with a cream sauce called Graddsas and boiled potatoes or french fries, plus lingonberry jam. Sounds like a peculiar combination but it was very nice. Mike had that too, Sara, Pam and Josh had fish, which they pronounced delicious, Harry a pizza thing. Just to prove we were there........
We three women toured the market area whilst Mike and the boys went off to choose a desk for J and desk chairs for both of them.
After a short drive, followed by a drink in a cafe, we then toured Anaconda, an outdoor shop which Mike loves. They're now putting the desk and chairs together, smoothly so far.
