There hasn't been seating outside Costa for weeks and we've missed it. We always sat outside with Nell, because dogs weren't allowed inside. These days they are welcome, and some days there are several inside, all quiet and wolfing down their puppacinos!!
There was scaffolding up for quite a while, we assumed it was to allow the flats above to be painted. But the scaffolding came down last week and still no seats.
When we were there on Wednesday, we asked were they going to put seats outside again? Jodi who seems to be in charge told us, they were waiting for a firm to clean the awning of gull and pigeon droppings! The scaffolding had been there, so that the poop mess could be cleaned off the building. Evidently the firm contracted to do this had been booked last summer but still hadn't done the awning!
So one of the problems of being in a seaside town.. Opposite Costa is the old Coop building, now a Pound Shop and they have a hole in the side of their roof overhang and we watch the pigeons fly in and out.
Our dawn chorus at 5 ish is the squawking of gulls!
Isn't the Costa building grand? I think it might have been a bank!
