Newport

I hand delivered my passport renewal form yesterday..thankfully the Newport Passport Office still survives, and the local jobs with it.  Although fewer jobs than there were previously.  The thin end of the wedge?

When that was done I had a little wander and a coffee in his usual brand of coffee shop to celebrate The Pirate's birthday.


Into Newport's Indoor Market as they were opening...

and looking at things that people never raise their eyes to see and wonder

The Westgate Hotel of Chartist history, now still boarded up

the beautiful school building (1904) on Stow Hill, then the Transporter Bridge, still working, seen from the top of Stow Hill

Then it was Sheep Ahoy!!!!!
