Shopping and Spotting on Friday
Jun. 20th, 2008 08:50 pmSo, I said I was having a bit of a mini-bash today. C ended up staying at home and rearranging/tidying the flat, but I had plans. I left the flat in time to walk through Royston town centre, for the 0908 331 bus towards Hertford. Here, a shorter-than-usual DAF/Wright Cadet, 4522, was ready to take me to Reed, Blacksmiths Lane. I was dropped opposite the bus shelter/village hall…
… and crossed over for Richmond’s Friday-only Service 334 towards Cambridge. One of the regular passengers was waiting at the stop, although not intending to travel (she was going to a funeral, and wanted to inform one of the regulars). Optare Solo YJ 05 XMZ pulled in…
… The bus continued back through Barkway and Barley, before continuing on roads familiar from the 10/43 of a few weeks back. We picked our way through Cambridgeshire into Essex, before running non-stop from Elmdon (where we didn’t pick anyone up anyway) to Addenbrooke’s (again, no one wanted dropped off) and continued into Cambridge city centre.
So, after stopping to pick up the June edition of the Cambridge ‘citi’ bus map/guides (revised with city centre stop changes, plus adding new 8 and 553-5 services) amongst others, posting a letter, and then proceeding to Claire’s. The ear piercings that I had done closed up while I was recovering/in hospital (had to take the studs out), so had them redone again. This time, both done at once… at the same moment too!
From there, around Cambridge market and shops (stopped for a bite to eat, plus some other goodies, mostly from Boots – including a new moisturiser-sunscreen combined), before going for the more direct route back to Royston on the 26 bus at 1240.
I’m sneezing madly for some reason, so I shall let you choose your favourites of the other pictures here!
