A photo card reader that is so now I can upload my photos of the gorgeous Dylan.

We decided to take Dylan for a walk to the nearby strip of shops in Mont Albert. What a great little stretch of shops- It was a very short walk to the end of the street and across a main road there are the Mont Albert shops. Everything one could need practically. A choice of coffee shops and bakeries.

A couple of second hand clothing/ goods stores so the opportunity for bargain shopping abounds.

A butcher, green grocer and supermarket- with bottle shop. The butcher is an old style butcher- I kept thinking of all those butchers we had access to in Beaumaris and Hathorne and other places. When I say old style- he was youngish but had the typical patter of butchers of old- "What can i do for you young ladies..?"
Reminded me of the joke about the woman going in to the butcher's shop...
Woman: Excuse me but do you have a sheep's head?
Butcher: No madam I always part my hair this way.
The butcher's shop was in fact quite up-market with not only great cuts of meat but fish and also gourmet cheeses and deli produce. As you can see I was quite taken by the butcher's shop.

| The station provided opportunities for some interesting shots |
We walked to the end of the row of shops and had a look at the railway station.
 |
| Waiting! |
We crossed the road and looked in all the shops on the other side of the street and then purchased so fresh bread and bits like avocado, salmon pate and cucumber and made our way back home.

Dylan managed to entertain everyone we came across from the young man in the fruiterers to the elderly woman on the walking frame and the old Asian guy who was quite taken with the way Dylan nonchalantly rests his feet on the bar of his pusher (stroller).

| Charming all and sundry! |
We had a lovely day with him- he did what he does well- eat, sleep, smile and be placid.

So glad you got a reader. What an adorable baby he is!!! Your pics are so good. I love the one of town and the words about the butcher. I do miss having the meat shop with the butcher. We used to have that in Ohio and it was so nice to pick out what meat you wanted and they would even cut it in smaller pieces if you would like!! Ah...gone are the good days!!! LOL
