1. We find a great little place for lunch.

1b. Looking up at the crossing, we see the variation in the buildings along the street.

2. We go to the strange shop at the back of the arcade – I know it stretches back further than one would expect but I’m surprised by how far it extends upstairs too. There is all sorts in there.

2b. We could sit on the corner but instead, we walk a bit further to sit near the lake. A quirk of perspective makes it look like little tiny cars are driving at the people walking down the pier. Later, as we walk around the water on the way back to the car, I get a dog hug – all the others we’ve seen have been on leads but this one is allowed to come over and when I bend down to talk to her, she licks my face.

3. Crumpets with cheese and chilli sauce.
