The Old Auction Room at Strichen.
An amazing place in a small village. Great atmosphere. Plenty people in there this afternoon. Also met other people either of us knew or both of us knew . What I particularly like is the relaxed feeling, we did have two coffees each but even so there was no feeling that we had spent enough time in the place. " Can I get you anything else?" often the hidden meaning is "You have sat their long enough now piss off."
We havent seen each other for a while and spent almost 2 hours catching up. We can both talk a lot, but think it ended in a draw!
When we came out we went for a look round outside. It still has plenty of antiques for sale both within the cafe, upstairs in the antique room and outside.

Very warm and humid today. I am amazed I had enough breath for all the talking I did!
Oh, that's my kind of place! What a wonderful space!
