Weekend shopping and autumn memory

Recovering from a hectic night shift, I noticed that it was wet and drizzling outside in so-called Robinhood's county. Of course, we are in the last few days of British summer. Autumn will come officially from the 1st November this year. Time goes by quickly. I still remember everything about last year's autumn. I bought my DSLR camera last year this time, taking photos and sharing with my friends. It had been a wonderful time with multiple photo trips to the many parts of England and South Wales. Two local photo awards were my sweet memory ever.

Based on my photo habit, I gained many new friends. I think my interest in basic cooking also enabled me to get some more friends in facebook. At the same time, I have got some enemies from far east community probably because of my western orientated and liberal mind. Basically I feel sick if I came across someone who sticks at one atmosphere, refusing to accept new things and new foods. I tends to criticise such people. I know it is not a good habit. But still unsuccessful yet to give it up. In fact, I have been enjoying to do so.

In wet weather yesterday, I headed towards the city centre. After leaving my car at the Broadmash car park, one of the 4-5 shopping places in Nottingham, I joined people in chilling out and buying things. I took some photos randomly at the same time.


Watches with price tags over 5 grams


Traditional jacket potato kiosk


An ice cream kiosk


A tram coming


A street entertainer. He pleased as I gave him a pound coin.



Think about golfing in Autumn, I bought some sport wears from M&S. Of course, Marks and Spencers is for the middle class people like me. Blue Harbour is nice. 2 stripes 29.50 each. Polo shirt 12. Outdoor trousers 35 quids.

Yes, it is said Sherwood forest used to be Robinhood's hidden place.. so Robinhood country or county.

Where I put pound coin? You see his guitar case left open. That is their usual way to collect change.
