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.

As I was taking pictures of the curious building a cat appeared above the front door.
She meowed and jumped down from the roof of the porch to the waist of the building and then down to the ground and approached me meowing. Then she trotted over to a bench and sprawled out on it. I went and joined her
After a while she got up and sat on my lap
When I got up to leave she followed me along the path
From here you can see the name of the little trail
Then the silly cat decided to run between my feet and got her paws stepped on for her trouble. She stopped following me then and went up the bank looking very much a like a tiger in the jungle
I've hit the upload limit again. So I'll try to add more tomorrow.
@ninalanyon That house looks like something out of middle Earth from The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. Looks like the cat has taken a real interest in you Nina.
