When Kev and I used to work on a Saturday, we would go through Central Avenue, West Bridgeford watching them set up the market, wistfully thinking that it would be nice to get off the bus, grab a coffee and wander around looking at the stalls. Now of course we can, and that's exactly what we did, grabbed a take out from Caffe Nero and had a bit of a mooch.
Kev had a look in one of the charity shops, I think it was Cancer Research, and found a solid terracotta jack'o'lanten for outside, a bargain. He even donated another amount on top, because he thought they weren't asking enough for it. We then went round the stalls. I am glad we did as one young lady was selling jesomite ghosts, and they were really cute. I had a hard time picking just one. But in the end I chose one I named "Blankie" wrapped up in a throw, holding a mug of coffee, or hot chocolate. I got one of her cards, so I can perhaps buy another at some point. Jesomite, is a resin mixed with a powder that makes it look like stone. It's quite heavy, but you can mould it into whatever you like.
We went into M&S, I got some more Halloween treats, to put in our Boo box, along with food for us tomorrow and even a Christmas gift, which can be stashed away. In there, if you don't get them when you see it, they go. So home with us it came to go into the Christmas sack in the wardrobe.
I also nipped into Grape Tree to stock up pistachio nuts. Then we were done, so ee walked up to the bus stop opposite Co-op. Even up that one, the oldies push in front of you to get on when a bus pulls up. I swear they are feral round that area. Bad enough in M&S, dodging in front of you at the checkouts like you are invisible. They'd get a time penalty in F one for over-taking and cutting you up.
