Told Bob I HAD to go shopping today as I desperately need a new pair of shoes for the autumn.... I came back with three pairs, but hey, two were in the sale !

Whilst shopping, I stopped and listened to this chap playing Quena, Ocarina, and Panpipes.

There was a French market in the town centre today too... I bought a new bag for a mere £8 (to go with the new shoes of course), and some little French cakes (I've got friends coming round tomorrow), and a beautiful piece of meringue - which we had tonight, broken up and folded into a mixture of Greek yoghurt, double cream and raspberries, and topped with muscovado sugar. Mmm...mmmm!!!

And there were wooden ducks too... which is bizarre because JW found exactly the same ducks today in Marlborough. How weird is that ?!!

Interesting patterns... the condensation on our patio doors this morning showed where a pigeon had flown right into them yesterday !
