At least twice a week I walk to the village. On Wednesdays I pick up my order of bread and a newspaper. On Saturdays I get a newspaper again and a large bottle of whole milk. I generally buy other stuff as well. Eggs. Matches. Maltesers.

It’s a good village shop. Non-profit, run by volunteers. It’s very small but it has a lot of stuff. In summer my sister needed a protractor. They had one.

Some days it’s raining and I delay my visit. Some days I go and it rains. It can be pretty miserable.

Today it was a glorious walk.

The bread was good too. So fresh.
