Scenes from provincial life

[callmemadam]

Things I have never done:
Drunk coffee in Starbucks
Eaten anything from Pret a Manger. According to their website the nearest is in Bristol
Eaten a Tiramisu Kit Kat

Shops I like which are thirty miles away:
Jigsaw, Warehouse, Monsoon, Schuh
Even further: Whistles, Hobbs

Things I couldn't buy without the internet:
Quality knitting yarns
Books I really want

Er, quite a few more things. But I live in a nice place where people say 'Good morning' to each other. You can see from today's posts that a zipping-about person gets bored when it's too hot to zip. I will now do something useful by listing a few books.

Luckily you can enjoy cats in hats at any time thanks to the magic of the internet.

Oh! How could you do that to me? Cute or what? I must make a cat icon as I'm often commenting on cat stories.

I'd like to live the rural life, but no Starbucks? Horrors! I need my Frappucino :)

I live in Edinburgh and I can do all of those things but I'd trade it happily for living in a place where people said good morning.... which brings me to the subject of the update I need to write now that we're back from our hols.
