Definition of Poo-tal: To amble and stroll at a steady pace with Good Friend. To wonder in and out of lovely shops and exclaim "oohs" and "arhs" at regular intervals. To stop for coffee and cake. To have no regard for time (except deadline for picking children up from school).
Last week I had the good fortune of a poo-tal around the lovely little village of Southwell with said Good Friend.
A Fly Went By is a lovely little shop selling childhood memories and vintage furniture.
8A King Street Interiors sells a fantastic mixture of up-cycled goodies and handmade one off crafts.
My friend brought this gramma phone, she says I'm a bad influence on her!
The Hen House is a foodies dream, lovely items to kit out the kitchen!
We had a lovely poo-tal around Southwell, there are great little cafes, some great charity shops as well a fantastic Minster to wonder around.
(let's hope I don't send this one off to outer space- the little green men will wonder what I'm doing!)

p.s. Don't feel you need to comment again, your comments are still on Friday 6th July! Why is my life so complicated! :)

Thanks everyone for reading the post, I felt it needed to be included because it is a lovely memory of a good time with a good friend.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Emma, Southwell wasn't as good as it is now, it's got a new lease of life over the past couple of years! Ada :)
