A flaw in the plan - part 1

On Saturday I found myself with a rare whole day to myself which was wonderful, but funds are a little  low at the moment, and with Christmas looming, I needed a "no spend" day.  And so I thought a good long walk with my camera for company would be a fairly cheapish day out.

 So I parked up on Rustlings Road (avoiding car parking fees)in Sheffield and wandered through  gorgeous Endcliffe Park.

 So far do good.

 I couldn't help but notice how many of the trees still have a very green coat - I think these are really late in turning this year.

 Then I left the park and headed for the Sharrow Vale/Ecclesall Road area - I thought you might like to see some of the fabulous shops and eateries in this area of Sheffield.

 Of course, I was tempted in to plenty of them.  This newish shop has some fabulous unique craft type gifts (as well as gifts for one's self!!)

 Interestingly I compared the prices of fruit and veg from here - "The Sharrow Marrow" to Sainsbury's (where I had to call later on).  Pomegranates £1 in Sharrow - £2 in Sainsbuy's. Sharon Fruit 3 for £1 in Sharrow - 60p each in Sainsbury's.  I know where I'd rather buy from.

 What interesting pastimes we have here in the city - and all under one roof!!!

Can you spot the flaw in my plan?  Well of course you can.  I just couldn't resist temptation in most of the shops I went in.  In my defence your honour, many of my purchases were Christmas presents, and I did get a couple of great bargains in one of the many charity shops here.  But that's another story (with yet another flaw in the plan!), which I'll tell you another time!
