Discoveries

Forgot to say that we made the oddest discovery the other day – noticed on our peregrinations round the old city that one of the shop windows was plastered in Union Jack flags and so correctly we assumed it was something or other to do with Britain!! Well, being the nosy parkers that we are we popped inside and it was a jumble sale of the old variety !! boxes full of ‘british’ garments, all with labels like M & S, Next, Laura Ashley etc etc.  We had a good browse and I bought some ‘Reef’ flipflops  to wear in the local pool (shoes obligatory), white summer trousers, a Monsoon caftan, 2 strappy Bravissimo tops with bra built in, Crag Hopper navy shorts and dad bought 2 pairs of M & S shorts – all good stuff – but guess how they worked out the price ???!! by weight!!  Each item was weighed individually on a kitchen scale and then totted up and we had to pay 18,000 HF which was £6 ! amazing. How cool is that?

We found another one later (minus the Union Jacks tho) and dad bought himself a beautiful hat – German made, brand new – this time the lady just said 300 HF - £1. Happy bunny, and he actually wore it all day too! I reckon Ben will take a fancy to that one tho!

Since then, we have noticed a few of these ‘pop-up’ shops but have not ventured inside – there is only so much clothing you can carry in the caravan and we have enough – can’t believe I just wrote that!! Well, what I mean to say is that dad says we have enough of course!!! Men ?.....

Thought I'd add a piccie of yours truly in her 'old hat' courtesy of Help the Aged in Cirencester and perfect for the Hungarian sunny days. This was taken in a delightful street cafe which served delicious cakes at excellent prices - been back a couple of times!
