Cool customers at cool cafe

Went for a coffee this morning with my friend John. Able to talk agreeably about all sorts with him including model trains, even though I have no interest in them. We went to the model shop afterwards just to look in the window at some O gauge trains. Quite pricey. It is closing down so this harmless little pleasure will be gone from him in the near future. Victim of the internet world. On the way home I noticed this magnificent rig at the Custom Coffee Company Cafe, and had another coffee to keep me going. The bicycle on the back has a baseball bat clip. Authentic American bike with innocent baseball bat.
Tonight we went to the Galmpton History Society for a riveting talk on Devonians transported to Tasmania for seven years. It was an eye opener. Unbelievably cruel punishments were handed out to convicts who misbehaved. The resources online for finding Individuals are amazing, particularly the Black Books which list full details of each convict.
