Backhouse's, as was

This used to be a newsagent's, where cats dozed on piles of newspapers, and extraordinary window displays were the norm. I remember one for the 2012 Olympics, featuring Action Men figures dressed as athletes.

It's been closed for years now. I miss it still. I enjoyed having a shop I could pop into on the way home, uphill from the town centre.

In other news, we spent the day recovering from Steve's birthday picnic yesterday (this is a backblip).
