It was still sunny today but the clouds are rolling in and some of them this afternoon looked quite black. This morning I went to a friend's house in town for a coffee and a good long chat. Normally we meet at Lindsay's cake shop but today I dropped into town first and got some of those delicious cheesecakes which we ate sitting in Janet's garden. (Any excuse for cheesecake! ) After my visit I drove over the New Bridge to the other side of town, 2 hours free parking at Lidl's, and walked back to the High street.
But first I called in at the tattoo parlour to book a time to have my tattoo touched up and I walked up Litchdon street to the old almshouses.
They are still in use as almshouses providing sheltered accommodation for a few lucky elderly of the Parish. The plaque on the front states that they were built in 1627.
A little further down the street is the impressive entrance to the old Brannam's Pottery They moved out to Roundswell but have since closed down.
Here's a view of Litchdon street.
And this is the Square with the 4 Liars clock and the museum behind. I am envious of the clumps of golden oat grass as I lost mine several winters back.
After a bit of shopping I got home in time to sit out for a while in the sun as rain is due tomorrow. Then I did some weeding and replanting so if it doesn't rain I'l have to get the hose out.

1627, wow, amazing that buildings are that old and still being used.
What a nice way to spend the day - eating cheesecake with a friend. : )
