Old Haunts....for @judithg & @fueast.

As you can see I have been in Bruccianis today.
It hasn't changed a great deal except much more emphasis on food & drink with a tiny little deep freeze for the what was once the famous ice cream.

I had a mug of hot coffee which would have been lovely if I could have tasted any coffee flavour at all...not much changed there then!

What a fabulous looking place Pat. Where is it?

[Pat Knowles]

@seanoneill In the main street in Preston Sean. This cafe has been open since 1932 & us school girls used to go in there for ice creams etc so just reminiscing with @judithg & @ fueast. who also come from Preston. Small world hey!

[Nancy]

This is lovely, Pat. It has a real warmth to it. Would make anyone want to try even their weak coffee!

[Pat Knowles]

@nancyperry Well it was hot Nancy & I was hungry so it was very welcome, thank you for your comment!

[Judith Greenwood]

Well fav obviously!! You do need to stick to hot chocolate though!! But it was way ahead on the chrome frothy coffee machines - very exotic in the 70's. Thank you very much - I'm just reminiscing about by friend Judith Chaloner who was trusted with a monthly allowance - which all found itself in Bruccianis till by the end of the first week!!

[Jean Tookey]

That looks like a great place to visit. I love the collage.

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg I told them I would be taking some photos & the girl said go ahead, people are always taking pictures. I had forgotten you had to go down those tiled stairs to the loo! Next time I will have the hot chocolate ! It had a nice atmosphere & was quite busy although you can't see it here...took me back a bit! Thank you for the fave Judith!

[Pat Knowles]

@jtookey150 Thank you Jean. I'm not really a lover of collages as I don't think you can see enough but I am quite impressed with the picmonkey one!

[Jane Pittenger]

What a great collage. Looks like quite the spot. You did a great job getting detail with the collage

[Pat Knowles]

@jgpittenger Thank you Jane & it's not too bad for detail is it! I wanted to get as many views for the girls as possible!

[Fanny Brogden]

Oh what fun a lovely 'meet up' love the collage, amazing its been going for so long.......eh that sounds a bit rude!!!

[Gillian]

A lovely collage :) I'm sure you've spent many hours there :)

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Wonderful collage Pat....what a super place, sorry about the coffee!!

[Barbara Paquette]

What a bright lovely place - so full of colors!!! I love the picmonkey collages - so easy to use! But I can't zoom in to see what is in the case in the center photo - probably better off as I am a bit peckish right now!

[Margaret Gozzard]

I would love to visit this place

[Jennifer]

Brilliant collage!!!! Love the colours and the mix. Looks like a great place!!

[Rick Schies]

Now that looks like a wonderful shop

[Sue Wilde]

This looks an amazing place

[Peggy Sirk]

Looks like a really fun place ~ so much character. I'd take @judithg's advice and try the hot chocolate next trip. Sounds like she would know. :)

[Phil Howcroft]

it looks like a great building and interior Pat, full of character and characters !!! (well you were inside it !!)

[Juliette Packham]

great market type scenes and lovely bright collage Pat, looks a great place to go out...except the coffee doesn't sound great, maybe I'll have tea!!!

[Sean O'Neill]

@happypat Fab. Not a place I ever visit. Shame....

[Alison Tomlin]

Fav obviously. Didn't see it at the time. Those tags at the top don't work I think. So great to see it hasn't changed. Although an improvement in the coffee would be welcome!
