So the photo's from the day are very few and far between. We had lunch at the Brewery Bay Company and I took this photo. The day was gorgeous.
Now I am just being plain artsy-fartsy with this shot!!!
Can't remember what this store is called, but son-in-law is a big Beatles fan and so I took this photo with him in mind. I think it was priced at around $1,900, so not cheap. Notice the sign below. It was clear glass with "All you need is Love," written on it and that cost around $90. There were other signs with catchy phases on it that were as nice.
For once we both left with bags of shopping. I got a suet feeder for the birds, a bar of Goats Milk soap and a pair of Crocs that I am using in the house as slippers thank to Jane for the suggestion.
While we were in the shoe store we did a public service and educated the girl serving us. They sell a product called BOGS, now that is slang for toilets in Britain, which we thought was a funny name for boots.
This is what BOGS look like:

Hi Gill, just popped by to say hello back to you, thanks for visiting my blog. I'll have a browse through yours today and look forward to becoming a regular follower. I'm was only Gillian when my Mum was cross with me as a child(not too often thankfully!) and hated my name so shortened it to Gill, but in recent years I do find myself using Gillian more often especially at work. Really interesting to read about your life in Canada. Gill x
Not sure what that poor girl made of us!
It was gorgeous weather wise.. don't think I needed my poncho!

Had to chuckle over your bog story, yes, that word does conjure up certain images. Don't think I'll be wearing them either.
I think I would wear Bogs!! And you live in a gorgeous part of the World, you are blessed!
Now, I had not noticed the term Bogs used for toilets before...that is new to me.
Looks like it was a gorgeous and fun day for you two!
Enjoy the weather while it's good.
Must remember to pull the turkey out of the freezer soon.
Crocs? I have a love hate relationship with them. I have a clog type pair for nightshift but how do I hate the neon colours that I see on the feet of my coworkers.
That's such a funny name for boots. They wouldn't sell well here would they. Still they do look rather swish for little wellies.
I have a pair of crocs (copies of course wouldn't pay the full price) that I use for going out into the garden for the washing. We're being very careful since we had new carpets fitted!
Looks like you had a lovely day out Gill. Glorious sunshine but very chilly here in North East England, had our first frost this morning, a real shock to the system.
