Day 38 .... 20.06.13 ..... Devizes 2


Well the day came for Maggie to have her haircut on the boat 5 boats behind .......


and a very good job was made of it ...... Devizes on a Thursday is market day




and it was very busy with every kind of stall you would want ranging from fruit, meat, fish, ironmongery, fabrics and cheese.  Lovely to see something like this still exists in this country.



a great cheese stall .... we could have been in Normandy.


 Also an inside market of all kinds of crafts.  It used to be a Butcher's Market in the Middle Ages. 

It is amazing that the Army theme gets all over the place in this area.  Was surprised to see this arrive up the way from us. Well no ... perhaps I shouldn't have seen it  !!! Perhaps from the air ????


.......and finally an evening view of where we are, in the unexpectedly calm town of Devizes!!!
Tomorrow a visit to Wadworth Brewery followed by a re-stocking of some of the vital items of life !! Cannot remember what Catherine calls it ... .is it revittalling ??? 


Tomorrow is the longest day.  Should be sitting on a ridge with my ukelele but shall be content to examine the craft of beer-making.

Passed a lovely sign on a boat yesterday "Slow Down Please .... let the rats do the racing"

  1. At first I thought that the opening pic was of Mggie's new haircut from the rear, until we saw the 2nd pic !!! You seem to have had a nice visit with James & Deb, they both looked well.
    Enjoy Wadsworth Brewery.... do you get free samples? love D & C
