A Day Out

A day out to Aviemore to meet up with family who are on holiday there this week. It was a balmy 4C and too wet and windy to take any photos of the autumn colours which were a bit more advanced than home.

We took a run to Grantown-on-Spey where there is a small independent bookshop - The Bookmark - a rare and lovely thing indeed. Needless to say I now have a few more books to add to my reading list.

We also visited my favourite find of a few years ago, a community cooperative run collectables emporium. It is full of what can only be described of as treasure and is guarded by a large cat who would give Bagpuss a run for his money. No sign of the cat today, but there were lots of things I wanted to bring home. I was restrained and left with some books and a lovely pair of wooden knitting needles....

....and a promise to return soon.
