3/365 : No HP Sauce?

Andy and I took the train into Bolton today to have a walk around. This picture is of Bolton Town Hall, we were standing in Victoria Square.

Andy would not stand next to me as I took it... he says in doing this blog I am going to look like a year long tourist. Oh well... I told him he will just have to stand off to the side then! : )

Don't let the clear blue sky fool you.. yes the sun was out but it was still only about 48f/9c! It was a beautiful day and since my lovely six umbrellas had to be shipped to me via USPS (we ended up needing another suitcase as we had more stuff then we thought) I was glad that it did not rain. Although my umbrellas should be here sometime next week and I am sure it will rain before they get here. I'll have to make do...

We also ate lunch in a little cafe (what I would call a 'greasy spoon'). They had jacket potatoes (just large baked potatoes) although they had some weird stuff on top of them! Things like tuna.... sweet corn.... I ended up going with a bacon barm (bacon sandwich on a large white bun) and chips (french fries). Andy had a sausage and egg barm and chips.. although he said it would have been better with some HP Sauce but they wanted you to buy a little packet of it for like 10p. I told him we could afford that but he said it was the principal of it.. Then we passed a few more cafes during the walk and he pointed out that they all had ketchup and HP sauce out on their tables. : )
