Another day out and a charity shop find

 I've not had chance to unpack properly from the weekend and we are already jumping into the car to head north. Ian's bike boots are getting old and leaking a little so we headed back to the Altberg factory to see if they can be mended or whether its a case of biting the bullet and ordering some new ones,.

After a close inspection it was decided that new soles and a seal round them would do the job so they have been left there for repair.

We took ourselves off into town to do our usual trawl of the charity shops and grab some breakfast.

Richmond ( Yorkshire) is a market town built on wool and the lead mining industry.




Small alleyways lead back up to the market place that has shops on all four sides



The castle that you can see in the distance is closed during the week at this time of year so we will return sometime to explore further;'

Taking a walkdown to the river you come across Richmond falls, a pleasant spot to stop and eat our sandwiches.





I managed to take a terrible pic of the castle as we left, another good reason to go back !


unexpected delight was the coffee cup printed with Yorkshire dialect.


and the charity shop find of the day was this lace book



it also has an assortment of lace patterns in it.
