Thursday 19 November. Op Shops

We decide to hire a car so organise one for four days from tomorrow. In the meantime Sue wants to have a look at the markets. We find Rusty’s, which is a big fruit and vegetable market – that isn’t open today. We do discover OP (charity) Shops though, much to Sue’s delight though there is not much of interest in them, mostly second-hand clothes and Manchester! “Manchester?” we ask. “What’s Manchester?” Apparently this is linen and household fabrics, presumably because a century or so back most of these articles would have been made there.
In the evening we eat in the garden at the hostel. I cook steak on the BBQ, then sit competing for bandwidth on the WiFi with all the other Netbook users.
