Nothing exciting to post today but I went into Garstang...drove myself which I was pleased about.
Did a bit of shopping for essentials but noticed all the folk sitting on the benches tucking into fish & chips. The fish & chip shop is right in the centre of the photo.
This is the square outside Booths.
Three good things:
1. Such a warm & balmy day...we sat out in the garden this afternoon for a while.
2. A long queue to get in Booths but it moved quite fast.
3. A cream & jam donut!
Good to get a trip out. Eating chips is surely exercise... I've just been to Waitrose but I don't come back with too many treats because I can't get out of there fast enough. Busy at 7pm on a Saturday. Weird isn't it.
Ooh Pat , just fancy fish and chips !! And such a glorious day to sit outside to enjoy -- without seagulls around !! ha ! Pleased your eye has recovered and able to drive again .
@jamibann Booths is a family run chain of supermarkets Issi. Similar to Waitrose & selling as much local produce as they can. They have 28 stores based around the north west of England. We have a brilliant one in Garstang with cafe.
@tinley23 Never been to the Chorley one but I imagine it’s as nice as them all. They have built an Aldi slap next door in Garstang but they seem to trade quite well together, I go to Aldi for some things but mostly Booths as it’s so pleasant to shop there.
@fueast I would have thought it quiet then...the shops in Garstang are all dead at 7pm...too busy for me this morning but I coped...I must say they are very fussy at Booths...only letting so many in & wiping each trolly for you
Certainly not many people about in this lovely central village shot! Takeaways can be the best for a night out in good weather. We are locked down again purely and simply because several people who were symptomatic went out and about in spite of being told to isolate!
Very pretty street scene and large open space. Few people around but those having fish and chips on the bench fill our hearts with hope for the future.
I WANT A DOUGHNUT!!! At least they are still doing queues for Booths - Waitrose numbers seem to have gone up quite a lot. I like a quiet shop even when we don’t have a pandemic!
Isn't it good when 'ordinary' things mean a lot! I'm quite happy to have driven 6 miles to collect some M&S items at their food shop!!! But very strange driving past other empty shops on the way.
Roll on the return to normal....
whatever that was!!
