Going out

Modern garden art

Last Saturday I was going to buy myself a birthday present. And to that end I was going to a small town about 30 minutes away. It was hot. Really hot. As in 'what else can I take off to give me any relief?' hot. There wasn't and I just had to bear it. But going in to shops helped a bit. 

Houses against the town wall. And yes, they are that narrow!

The town is a really lovely town, all cobbled streets and pretty houses and once you got one street away from the center, quite quiet. In the center there was a shanty-choir thing going on, which meant there were plenty of choirs showing off their art. 

The residence/warehouse/Jewish school is now a museum

Even though it's a fairly small town, there are plenty of things packed in: a large church, a former Jewish school, an orphanage, a convent. Although granted, some of those things were re-purposed. I saw my new favourite house, tried not to twist my ankle on the cobbles and took refuge in the large church for a while (see yesterday's post). 

After a couple of hours, I made my way back to my car and home. And the gift? Well, if the numbers fall my way... (I bought a lottery ticket in the end).
