Great Western Road is a fascinating street.

Hoos and Niki Jones are particularly beautiful. Curated and expensive - lovely for a specia gift. I resisted the exquisitely embroidered linen cushion and spent £7 in the market-like Tiger on Easter eggs and tiny cactus shaped candles.

The cafe with the generously embellished almond croissants is the Cottonrake Bakery should you find yourself in the vicinity.

We did splurge on a lovely dinner at The Annchor Line. Oh, the High Life! I so enjoyed it.

I decided to explore Great Western Road online and found this link . Thought other people might be interested. Sounds as if you had a wonderful city break.

Your posts about the west end have got me feeling all nostalgic Freda. Time to plan a trip home. I've never tried the Cottonrake, but noticed how popular it is every time I've walked past.

Is that tablet? I LOVE tablet - so long since I've had any, and tablet and affogato must be a match made in heaven. I'd need more than square though!

Simply fun....
