Thought I would do something a little different this week on the back of a Wordless Wednesday Post a few weeks ago. While in Wallingford the other day I visited the shop because I found out it sold bread flower. Before I took the bus home I had a quick walk around to get some photos of some other interesting shops
I'll start at the Cookhouse Deli which is where I went to get bread flower which is made at a local mill not far away in Wantage. I wanted onion bread flower (flour with bits of onion in) which they had. On the top of this counter they had cheese to taste, the Stilton was top notch
The other display had various meats to purchase. They also sell fresh bread which people who have bought it are impressed with. I'll be going back here that is for sure
Along St Mary's street is Just Trading which sells Fair Trade goods and organic food. I have been in here to get a present for my wife
Nearby if you look across the road you will see this entrance. Many years ago this was not here but made when the area to the left was redeveloped
Go though and you find Pettits, this used to dominate St Mary's & ST Martin's street until it was bought out and redeveloped. The shop now operates out of these precesses
Not been in in this one but it looked interesting selling some nice little gifts
Opposite you will find this place the George Hotel
It a 16th century coaching in and I've spent many an evening here with my fiends when I was younger. It is also the place we had our wedding reception after we got married
I'll finish here. The Old Post Office this was built in 1936 and is one of the very few places you will find a coat of alms for Edward VIII he was king for that year the abdicated. The post office some the building and moved to a trading estate outside the town. The took the Roll Of Honour that used to hang on the wall and I used to look at when I went in. It is now a restaurant
Never been here maybe one day

What a gorgeous village!!
De winkel is vol met delicatessen! A real treat!
The old post office is very beautiful and very good maintenance!
Thank you for sharing!
Lots of interesting shops in your local town.
Lovely little shops. I love Stilton, but in the states it is hard to find unless it is the Christmas season. Can you believe that? Horrors!
Hubby just picked up a lovely 1lb wedge of Stilton a few days ago (at Costco if you're a US reader such as
Tara) - best and least expensive place to buy it over here. My favorite cheese . . . . . . but I love any others too!
Beautiful old buildings in what appears to be a lovely small town.
Be sure to let us know how the onion bread turns out Bill.
What a beautiful village this is. I'd love to go here.
Worth a Thousand Word
I should hav epointed out it's a Market Town but yes it is a nice place
Yes I must try it sometime
You should have made a detour when you did the Thames path
So do I but my wife maked me put it in a container in the fridge as she does not like the smell
Bit overcooked but I know why, next time I'll do better
It a local town that has been around since the before the Saxon times
Lots of lovely shops in this enchanting village!
Lovely little village there. You do get to walk around some wonderful old towns.
That was a wonderful tour around town. I enjoyed it very much.
There are more to show yet
Yes and the best thing is I can walk there, it's only a couple of miles away
Only 40 miles from London
I love this lovely village.
I'll drop you a link to the place
wow I've never heard of onion bread flour but always have a hard time picking which cheese I want, I like so many different types.
You can also get sundried tomato which I have not tried. I have a hard time picking cheese as well
Thanks for taking us on a stroll.
Quite an eclectic mix of retail!
