At Burtonwood Services charging my car. Before that I went to Earlestown Post Office to post a form to the UK pension service. Parked in the market square at about 10:00.
Wandered about the town and took a few pictures. Judging by the town hall it must once have been quite a prosperous place.
Found a couple of charity shops, BHD and local one. The local one had a rail of clothes marked down to 1 GBP so of course I had to have a close look. And I bought a top.
Then I went to the Crumpet Café, Earlestown. Had a mug of tea and a sausage on toast.
I like the way it is furnished, lots of small booths. But my tea is only just hot enough.
The sausage on toast is reasonable and the whole thing is good value for money at 4 GBP. Cash only though which is a nuisance but better than the huge number of places in the UK that are card only.
The place could do with staff that are a bit friendlier and less slapdash though.
