Nantwich

Nice wander around ye olde Nantwich. The market to say hello to the toy man who was busy framing a splodgy ink drawing of a cow. He had a nice Xmas in Tunisia he said but the rubbish problem was annoying. We noticed a similar problem in Cheshire - the roadside garbage is disgusting! Anyway, Nantwich is relitively free of rubbish thankfully. The local council obviously does a good job of sweeping it under the carpet or whatever it is they do with it. A few bargains to be had including some battered and play worn tinplate toys. Also an Indian recycled "pop pop boat" found at the Hospice warehouse on the way home near Winsford. Made from a biscuit tin by the looks of it. Hazel got a puffy coat for the garden and some more wool. Sunny start but soon clouded over. Some cavaliers and roundheads in the town square. Hazel said they were re-enacting the battle of somesuch this afternoon. We left before the trouble started!
