366 MEME - Day 88 - Bude Shops.

[debris4spike]

Bude now has a one-way system round it, but back in the days when the town was being built, the central item was a school.  This ended up as the town theatre, and now a small shopping street, which as you can see has one or two shops, of a more specialist nature.  I bought some new sandals over the weekend, and as with all my shoes, the first thing I have to do, is take them to have a heel lift put on.  Two days before my 21st, when I was run over, I was left with a bad back - and have worn a heel lift since.  Annoying to have to pay twice for my new shoes!!   Hard to see in the light, but the cobblers is the small shop nearest to me.

What a quaint little shopping area! I'm sorry you have to pay for shoes twice, I can see how that would be annoying. =( But it's nearly summer and sandal time!

It is annoying but as its been years I get used to it! Still, I'm lucky there is a place locally that I can get them done.

What a lovely little shopping area.

It's handy to have some more obscure shops available.

I keep meaning to tell you how much I enjoy your pictures. You live in a beautiful place - and very different than my home, which is in a big urban environment complete with traffic congestion.

Thank you for sharing your life with me!

I am enjoying the challenge of this memem - and i love looking at pictures and reading about my friends lives, so I know what you mean.

I grew up in Greater London, so I know the blessings of a small rural town - we get busy in the summer though!
