Best bookshops eh? I feel Biblion, the Antiquarian bookshop at Grays Antique Market should of been included! Its a treasure trove. Truly helpful staff, amazing diversity of books and in an Antiques Market! Its full of character and in a great location!
What about
Best Sunday Afternoons in spring/ summer/ autumn/ winter
once again - using the 'print' feature of this feature results in text obliterated by fotos in the layout.......
I would add St. John's Bread & Wine (in Commercial St.) to 'Best Breakfasts'. Brioche, porridge with prunes, delicious fresh rhubarb - it's all amazing. In fact, I think I'm gonna go tomorrow...!
Best barbers? Ya... They are also for women? (!!??) Please, let me know about the best hairdresser! I'm new in town (I'm portuguese), and really dont know where to cut my hair. With style, of course!
