Glamping Supplies

 After leaving the cathedral, we headed over to Eastgate to see the famous Greyfriars. This Tudor church wasn’t that impressive in its location adjacent to a modern shopping centre, and it looked more like an ideal local hangout for druggies. However, we were impressed by the nearby jewellers on Southgate Street. Confusingly called Baker (though I suppose that you can’t help what you are called sometimes), this traditional watchmaker sports a large clock overhanging the street while beneath it in an alcove is a line of guild statues in painted middle-aged dress. Each figure holds a bell apart from the friar who pulls a rope to the bell above. After waiting for the clock to strike the hour, we decided to get supplies for the evening and had a browse in the pound shop. We came away with a chess board for our evening entertainment which we later discovered had a piece missing. We thought about taking it back, but I thought that the effort would outweigh the cost.
