I should sub-title this blog 'the misadventures of a Cotgrave bus passenger' episode 2...
We got what should have the 9.30am. A bus turned up, not in service, that dropped people off closed the doors and buggered off. 5 minutes later another bus came ( it was now 9.45am) We were allowed on that one. Because the other bus wasn't picking any passengers up, they all piled onto ours, before we left Cotgrave the bus was full of people, standing as well as sitting.
We eventually got to the city, and had the mostly up hill from Broadmarsh bus station to the centre of the shops etc, so we headed straight to Black Sheep Coffee. Having had our fix it was on to Boyes to get some craft supplies. Those got, it was on to TK to find all the Halloween had been packed up and moved upstairs. Kev found two great copies of Frankenstein and Dracula. Just to display, I have copies to read and both are on kindle too. But it allows us to use them to put our objects on them to give them different heights. Why buy fake books when you can buy real ones at the same price.
We had jacket potatoes from the van opposite the church and sat out because it was such a nice day. They were very good value and really tasty.
We then walked back to the bus station and eventually got a Cotgrave bus home.
Ian informed us later that there are going to be more roadworks from next week affecting Bridgeford which will make things even worse than they are now.
Charlotte helped us when we got home reaching the tree with the baubles for Halloween, to save unplugging the TV and moving it.
