Not going to repeat my thoughts on why not again ... except is a very pretty small place that can be walked around in less than a couple of hours. Primarily a tourist town with boat rides on the canal, meeting of two rivers, good centre for hikers, so is successful in this right alone. It's a lovely day out. Always busy ... try finding a place to park on any day of the week ! Lot of shops closed on Tuesdays though.

Not saying some of their ideas cannot be taken on board ... again, think we made a start with our Food Fair, which attracts 100's.

Yes, and has made me a little neurotic everytime I go there wondering about 2 ladies walking together.. mind you, I usually am with a lady friend, so maybe other people are thinking this about us.
