Gosh it's good to be back in England, particuarly where we are in Somerset. There's some lovely villages and towns, and the old buildings are soooo far away from Australian 'historical' buildings it's not even funny. Frome is only about twenty minutes from us and we needed to do a shop at Sainsbury's, so we decided to walk around the shops.

It's been a long time since I've done a 'market friday' post but then it's a long time since I've gone to interesting shops or markets! I love Frome - it's a 'cool' town, and was even named one of the coolest towns in Britain at one point.

> [Frome was one of the largest towns in Somerset until the Industrial Revolution, and was larger than Bath from AD 950 until 1650. The town first grew due to the wool and cloth industry; it later diversified into metal-working and printing, although these have declined. The town was enlarged during the 20th century but retains a large number of listed buildings, and most of the centre falls within a conservation area.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frome)


Whilst most of the shops we *actually* went in were charity shops, I did enjoy a lot of window shopping. Aren't these coloured enamel teapots gorgeous? I want, I want! There was also a rather trendy (and expensive) plant shop.

We'd forgotton how *hilly* England could be as well, so certainly were giving our calves a work out as we walked up the cobbled lanes and past quaint and quirky shops.

Of course, in England you'll always walk past a magic witchey pagany shop somewhere. How cute is the sign for this witchey place?

I thought of my grandson walking past the window of this vintage clothing shop - how cute are these Carhart overalls? In another shop I saw some kids outfits that reminded me of Jarrah when he was little - he used to love knights and swords when he lived here. Of course he was only five so grew out of them.

In the end, we didn't really buy anything - a forest green woolly jumper from the op shop for me, some soft toys for my sister in law's collie to pull apart for 25 p each, and some vegetables from the grocers. I can't believe how cheap aubergines (eggplants) and peppers (capsicum) are here - I guess it's because they come from Spain.

I hope you enjoyed my 'market friday' post in this lovely town. I'm sure there will be plenty more market posts to come as we travel around - damn, I'm loving being away and going to interesting places again!
