Damp squib lunch

It’s a sunny day today though still with a touch of chill on the air. As tomorrow’s forecast was less beguiling (though it seems to have improved in the meantime), we thought we would put off the shopping till then and enjoy the sunshine today.

We walked through to a busy Chapel Market, intending to buy a takeaway lunch (the only sort you can buy at present) and eat it in Culpeper Community Garden.

Many of the shops that are usually open on Sunday were closed, presumably because it is Easter Sunday.

Fortunately, we found Wenzel’s open and could buy some hot food items and coffee.

On leaving the premises, I wanted to photograph the shop but this was a little difficult because I was carrying two cups of coffee in a cup holder and therefore hand only one hand free. My finger slipped, resulting in the above impromptu self-portrait!

We made our way to Culpeper Park, only to find that the Community Garden was closed. Looking around the park, we could see that the few benches were all occupied.

In view of this, Tigger proposed that we take our lunch home and eat it there, going out again later. It seemed the only reasonable solution, damp squib though it was, and that is what we did.

Will we go out again later? If will be sure to let you know!
