Mooching In Weymouth

With an ample scattering of charity shops in Weymouth, it would have been rude not to have a petit mooch ……..

……. however, on this occassion, it was pretty slim pickings …..

……… one of the few things to pique Darrell’s interest was a pasta stand, but after some consideration, he decided that as we have enough trouble in our bijoux flat getting our washing dried, adding hanging tagliatelle to the mix was just asking for disaster!

There was further disappointment when Darrell found that due to unforeseen circumstances, Zara Daughter of Azora and Anita Gypsy Lee (clairvoyant to the long dead or unrecognisable stars), wasn’t in her kiosk should Darrell have wanted to pop in for a quick reading, but as Nigel told him, some things are best left just be a joyous surprise when they happened, instead of constantly looking out for them. Many a wise word from a monkey so young! ………

However, several seasidey type purchases were made, including sticks of rock, locally made fudge, Dorset Knob biscuits ………

….. and little trinkety things for our beloved niece and nephew ……

…… before Nigel started pestering us that he really needed more ticks for his 50p charity shop, Weymouth mug!  What is he like?  Happy days ………

I assume that Anita Gypsy Lee isn't related to Gypsy Rose Lee. The latter is American and had an altogether different type of act.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Thanks for taking us on a little mooch, I do like a mooch now and again. Shame about Zara - always a next time! Dorset Knob bisquits, never heard of those before. I will have to do a little research. JantheFan x
