It was on the theme of upright structures that caught my eye today. We were in Hexham catching up with my friends Andrew and Siobhan, just back from Christmas in Vienna and Budapest. After a two hour coffee then fizz catch up in the Beaumont Hotel they headed off to prep for their Christmas brunch tomorrow while Julie and I headed into Hexham to visit the fabulous Cogito bookshop, where I purchased an Oliver Rackham book on the Helford River, and some cards. We then popped next door into the oddly named Hextol Tans vegetarian cafe which I learnt helps people with learning disabilities gain confidence through work. A bowl of spicy courgette soup later Julie had a card to post, which meant popping it into this very festively knitted Victorian box. Nearby there was a display of upright, if broken, casement clocks in the passageway to an art gallery. Hexham certainly is an up and coming town, and not before time.
