Sometimes if you look at a place a bit more closely you fins other things of interest.

There are no signs or restrictions at grocery stores and other retailers. Only parking right near the water has a charge through parking meters. If I ever get back to the UK and have a rental car I will definitely remember about the parking. It does seem like a scam and I hope the man in the court case wins.<br /><br />The marina looks lovely and wouldn't it be fun to live on a boat at least for awhile.<br /><br />It was a nice day out for you and Rocky.Barbara M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06438114347870523265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-27336372290059277532015-07-30T23:38:32.447+01:002015-07-30T23:38:32.447+01:00From Margie in Toronto - Love to hear about these ...From Margie in Toronto - Love to hear about these days out Ilona - you find such interesting spots - not just the ones in all the tourist brochures.<br />Friends and I are trying to do something similar over the next year or so - get out to all the little towns around the big city that we can do in a day or the occasional overnight weekend trip - it's amazing what you find.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-32012808873294747222015-07-30T23:08:46.823+01:002015-07-30T23:08:46.823+01:00I love to log on to your blog first thing in the m...I love to log on to your blog first thing in the morning.

In the 2 streets nearest to the station we found about 6 charity shops. I got myself a few bargains, making a great end to a day out. We talked about going back another day in the car and it seems there are some other places to visit while there.

Isn't the point so that there is a little oasis of calm where you can sit and maybe remember people lost at sea?
