We had a walk in to town. For no other reason than to get out and about for a bit.
We ended up in Cafe #1. I had a cup of tea with millionaires short bread, which is about the only time I like shortbread, with a thick layer of caramel and chocolate on top. A very nice combination. We were lucky to get a window table, looking towards the water front.
The view across the area where the bus station used to be. Iws thinking that the view, although partially blocked by the boards around the edge of the demolition site, was quite nice, and it was almost a pity that it would soon be blocked again. Admittedly, if what it is said is going to be built really is built (does that make sense)? it will be really nice, I just hope it comes to pass. We’ll have to wait and see.
One of the delights whilst we were sat in the cafe, was watching a man and his dog sat at an outside table. It was quite clear that the dog was utterly devoted to the man. It’s the case that the relationship we have with cats differs quite a bit from that with dogs (something along the lines of; Dogs have masters, cats have servants). I commented to the man as we left that it was lovely to see. We had a really quite pleasant chat.
We had a slow walk back up the high street. We made several pauses. That gave me an opportunity to browse a couple of shops, and whilst waiting for Elayne, I took the opportunity to do a bit of people watching. Whilst I didn’t take any pictures of people, street photography was definitely on my mind.
I know it was a Saturday, so not representative of the week, but I am trying to see the high street at different times of the day to get a feel of what life in the town is like.
