....appropo of nothing much but it just shows how they think where I live.....
Hubby and I took a dog walk together for the first time in ages and decided to have a breakfast afterwards. I remembered a greasy spoon cafe in a boat yard near us we had been to before and suggested we went there. Wasn't where it used to be. Couldn't find it anywhere, despite the signs (from the road, into the boatyard). Found an old boy sat in a chair outside an office (this was about 10am so that in itself tells you something about the pace of life!!) Asked about the cafe. "No borrrr, thasss not bin hair for nair two yeirrs" (translated - no sir and madam, that particular establishment has not existed in this area for nearly two years)
We pointed out that the signs were all still up. He shrugged. "Thass early days yet" was his reply.
Still, I like it here.
