Congleton

Nice day out in Congleton yesterday with old chums Tony and Pene. Had a good rummage in Victoria Mills - the antique emporium that used to be an old mill - four floors of interesting old tat. We bought a few bargains including some excellent 50's Practical Householder mags, metal drawers, trivet slidey thing for warming your kettle, "Bee Meter" early light gauge thingy, tin toy and other bits and bobs. Had some oatcakes, toastie sarnies and tea in the cafe for lunch. Catching up with all the news etc. Afterwards a walk to the park to look for conkers and chase squirrels. Tree branch had fallen in recent storm and crushed some railings. Then a walk to Aldi to get bread ( T&P got a basket of shopping ) Saw a paddle steamer on the banks of the Dane. Then a shared crumbly scone and drippy jam in the cafe again. More junk rummage and then home.
