But is it art?

Saturday afternoon at the Rugby. Jersey victorious over Wales. Richard assures me it was an excellent match, set up by a  good steak at the Mermaid Tavern.

Jersey's Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Market

Fruit and vegetables, florists, butchers and a deli or two, a Post Office, chocolate shop, antiques, jewellers, cafes and a knitting shop. Plus The Red Triangle - the old Jersey shop where you go for anything difficult to find. The owner has been there forever and it is a treasure trove of household necessities. Service is measured and reasonably slow - especially when he negotiates the wooden stepladder for the higher shelves.
