Nantwich

Nice morning in one of our favourite towns - Nantwich - a 35 minute drive away. Its market day so pretty busy and lots to see. Said hello to the toy man. He had no toys for us today - he was enjoying his lamb and mint sauce sandwich! We got a few bargains from the table top sale in the Civic Hall - a wooden corkscrew shaped like a guardsman which made me think of my dad who was a grenadier guard and guarded Windsor Castle and various other places. Hazel got some glass beads, wire baskets for the pantry and lots of material for yet more patchwork quilts I expect. Also found a copy of "Amadeus" on DVD for 50p that we had been looking for. Pretty sure we have a copy somewhere but couldn't find it the other day. Also DVD of Prizzi's Honour - a Jack Nicholson film that I don't remember watching. Popped in the deli to see the wonderful ephemera collection and old shop display by the coffee shop at the back. Nearby was a sign that said "Beware Of Trains" on a church wall! Home again via the hospice warehouse . Hazel got some threads, thimbles and weird sewing gadget in a small basket.
