The light in the garden this morning was so magical, I had to take some photographs before I went off to the hairdressers.

Quite unlike the kind of big-city shopping I did on Monday, pootling about Cirencester this morning was a delight.  New and interesting independent shops are opening and it's becoming quite a smart place to be, though I thought this well-established flower shop was looking particularly lovely in the sunshine.

Plus and as well, it's fun to bump into friends, have a chat over a coffee in a great place too.
