This morning I made Christmas cakes for the select few! Turned out well as I haven't used a gas cooker in over thirty years, but have always said I preferred using a gas oven. Once they were done and cooling I decided to take a slow walk as it is a lovely day again. It had to be slow as I have quite a lot of pain in my knees at the moment, but as long as I take it steady I can still manage quite long distances. I took a walk down the hill through the old town, lots of little seaside shops that have been there for years.

I carried on down to the south bay and harbour, it was very busy down there, so I started back up the hill and had a cup of tea in a quaint little tea room.

A couple of days ago I saw a shopping trolley in town that I liked so much more that the one I have, but resisted the temptation at the time. That 'no names mentioned' friend suggested that I use the one I have as a laundry basket, which is a pretty good idea as I haven't got one. So I was swaying towards getting the yellow one. Walking through the Old Town they had the same one outside a shop but £4 cheaper - definitely a sign, so I bought it!

Now, that really IS funky!!
