Nigel Travel’s Briefly Back To The Homeland

Nigel is on a fleeting visit to the homeland, on route to Liverpool, accompanying Lu to do a little “home” mooching …….. so it goes without saying that The Towers is, at present, spookily quiet.

At the station Nigel was very impressed by an aerial photo of the city, which made the canal basin look almost romantic, but, he told us not to worry as his heart was safe from any hankering because Evesham was now the “Heartland”
IMG_9930He had hoped to visit the new market to perhaps make a few considered purchases, but alas it was closed and so remains a pleasure to be savoured on another visit.

However, before he headed to Lucy’s he did peruse the windows of House of Fraser for Darrell, to help keep him abreast of any possible en trend and de rigueur festive table décor that may be appearing in Wolverhampton homes over the season.

Nigel described it as all very gold and opulent, tres Hugh, but perhaps lacking the fun element. Sometimes, he mused, you can just be a little too elegant and twee, then puzzled over the gold nuggets placed in the bottom of the glasses, surely a health and safety issue if you didn’t remove them before imbibing?.
IMG_9936Nigel also noted that there was a handbag and shoes on the table, he’s often heard Hugh say that a real lady NEVER puts her handbag on the table ….. and as for shoes …….. well, that’s no lady and again, in Nigel’s opinion another health and safety issue waiting to happen, no matter how a la mode.

…….. perhaps he thought to himself, standards in The Homeland may have dropped, just a touch, since we left.

I hope you enjoy your trip to Liverpool-you’ll be so very close to me in Southport!
