A hot and sticky bus ride into Hereford today, made infinitely more bearable by interesting conversation with a friend I met at the bus stop. I never realised she had such an interesting life!
I was trying new things today, so I went into the Asian supermarket near the Cathedral. I had no idea what half the names on the packets were, but I came away with some Horse Gram (brown lentils), ginger and soy sauce, and I will return with a list after I've done some research!
As it was so hot, I went into the Eden coffee shop by the Old House to try their frappe - I used to drink frappes all the time (there should be an accent over the e - frapp-ay) when I was in Greece. This was not much like the Greek ones I remember, but I'll certainly go back and try other things on their menu.
The town centre was full of interesting food stalls, with food from all over the world, though I don't know if they were doing much trade in the heat. I was too hot to try anything.
On the way back, the bus was held up for a while for some sort of carnival parade from Peterchurch school. There were a lot of children dressed as monkeys, for some reason!
