THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD TO THE PAWNSHOP

Today was Farmers' Market Day in Louth, it's only held once a month so we always try to go when we can. It is a proper outdoor market, so much nicer than those horrible indoor ones.





We usually park at the top of the hill and walk down past some lovely cottages (sorry about the shadows).

including this lovely one - check out those wibbly wobbly windows, goodness knows what the floors are like.

The road leads down the hill past the auction rooms, a pub, a chocolatier, beauty parlour, hairdressers and nail technician all located in the wonderfully named Pawnshop Passage! I'm not sure which ones were the old pawnshops.



until we come out in one of the main shopping areas. Chuzzlewits is a fabulous bakery and coffee shop. A short walk brings us out into the market square







with some lovely stalls dotted in and amongst the boring ones. Our favourites are the wonderful Matt's Deli bakery (fabulous bread, rolls, etc) and Redhill Farm for their free range pork and Lincolnshire sausages, Belleau Trout Farm with their smoked trout, fishcakes, pate, etc.





Shopping done, we head back up the hill and take the scenic route home...

This lovely gateway is the entrance to an old Rectory.





Once we had turned off the road out of Louth we didn't pass a single car this morning - one of the many reasons why we love Lincolnshire!***





I hope you have enjoyed seeing the old familiar roads Jonny - now let me see some more photos of Shanghai - please!!





Lots of love,





Mum
