Saturday walk into the city






A beautiful day and everyone we meet is happy. We meet quite a few people - a man painting his house, Margaret Younge a new member of the Camera club & the Spire U3A who had just bought herself a digital camera. Her daughter Sheila with her 2 daughters Lily and oh I have forgotten the other one. Drat. Met Evelyn and Maureen outside M&S too. Here too Sheila found a strange device. A small blue plastic thing. Maybe it was someones car opening device. So in a jeweler's shop, where we tried to buy some of those tiny silver batteries and the old ones were perfectly OK, we inquired if they knew. But no.
Sheila was interested in buying a new lens for her camera and we looked in 3 camera shops ending with Castle Cameras. Booked to see one on Tuesday but Sheila saw yet another Camera bag that took her fancy. She is always trying to find the perfect one. We took it with us on appro. Later Sheila decided that it was not built for women!
Onto to the Farmers Market to buy smoked trout terrine for lunch and then home wards. We saw a Security guy but he was no help over the wee plastic key. However in the Close the man in the hut who takes money for car parking was able to pass it on to City Security. Well let us hope that someone is not stranded in a car park.
On the way back I took a picture of Margaret's daughter and family and more of the man painting [really spraying hence the newspapers over the windows].
