Hi I'm Elizabeth Day from How to Fail and I'd like to introduce you to Bist a village.

If you haven't heard about it already, it's a collection of stunning designer boutiques.

They offer incredible savings across more than 150 fashion and lifestyle brands, with the likes of a Nina Bing, self-portrait and Astrid at Miu, as well as classics such as Jill Sander and Mark Jacobs.

They're located in the heart of the Oxford countryside

and only an hour from London by train.

Or there's free parking all day.

I would highly recommend planning a day out at Bista Village. Can I ask you a question Mark? Yes son. When it gets to September, I know that our kids aren't at school or anything like that. But I, and I, my brother and I are the same, I still get nervous. There is still something about,

maybe it's a temperature change or it's a smell change or something. But occasionally I suddenly have that kind of new school, new class who, you know, that feeling that you get who is going to be in my class, who's my teacher going to be, all of that kind of stuff. And I still, suddenly, I get literally butterflies

when it, when we turn into September. Is that peculiar to me or do you think, do you have any of that?

No, if I have the opposite because I I find summer challenging I find sunshine and you know all that. No no no not Dracula but my favorite season is autumn I love

the autumn so the 1st of September, it's there we go. We're we're

back into home ground and then you know then it's windmills of your mind and

the autumn leaves attorney to turn into the color of her hair and everything.

I love the autumn. It's my favorite favorite season. So no, I actually feel I mean I do love

autumn. I do think autumn is fantastic but I still get nervous

It's interesting. I I don't recognize the thing and it's funny because usually if you sort of

mentioned that I mean I've at least got a version but no no I don't get that at all. No no absolutely not I just get

we through the summer. Right now it's autumn. Did you look forward to going back to school? I didn't not look forward to it. I mean it didn't like school.

I thought you know I didn't like school at all but it was I didn't like much. I mean to be honest with you that my main memory of the summer would be my mom saying,

why do you want to sit inside a darkened cinema watching beneath the planet of the apes when the sun is out and you

could go to the swimming pool, the outdoor Lido, which from my point of view was hell on wheels, you know, a whole day spent at the outdoor Lido in North

Finchley. And all I wanted to do is be down the road watching Planet of the Apes movies. And so soon as the autumn came in it's like fine now can I just go back to my normal life which is Monday to Friday is the you know is the hellscape of school and then but then I go then I just go to the cinema for the rest of the time.
