A pleasant afternoon in Winchester.
Missed a bus, missed a train.
Looked in Alton Station Cafe. Tonight for bikers night, chicken casserole.
Driver of 1415 No 64 bus Alton to Winchester running several minutes late, driving like a lunatic, exceeding speed limit, hit curb and smashed bus at Four Marks.
Alight and walk down Magdalen Hill into Winchester.
Sicilian guys still serving crap from their stall. It is tragic, they used to serve excellent pasta from their stall, worth a trip to Winchester for.
Flat Whites stall no food, all gone. Different guest coffee to last week.
I decide to check out the food at The Square. Spoilt for choice. Sourdough toast with grilled mushrooms.
The people sat outside, relaxing with a coffee, chatting with friends, I am very much reminded of Tailor Made in Athens.
Shocked to learn it is already five o’clock.
I head off to Flat Whites coffee shop. Too late, closed. I drop off a couple of copies of Caffeine. As last week, I recommend, do not subscribe to Caffeine, instead subscribe to Standart.
Back to The Square, but first check out Coffee Lab. I am shocked to find now closes at three. Coffee Lab Academy, as last week, chairs piled up, there were still people sitting there. It has gone rapidly down hill with no Laura in charge.
A cappuccino at The Square. Different barista and not as good as last week. Very large slice of walnut and coffee cake. Best I have ever had.
At Alton Station, same problem as last year, an ice cream van illegally parked in the car park, obstructing access, engine running, serving ice cream.
As last week, no special left at Alton Station Cafe.
As I board train, steam train leaving.
