Shopping in Castara

Post by Carol Townsend »

Been musing again, and trying to get my random thoughts in some sort of order before publishing my diary and finding fame and fortune. Watch out Bill Bryson....!
Have just fought my way around my local gargantuan superstore which is currently being re furbished and increased still further.UK readers will know; it's the one beginning with T that is swamping this country.
I have realised how much I enjoyed shopping in Castara. We went to Pennysavers a few times because it's hard to keep away from supermarkets, but those little shops in Castara were a treat.
They are a bit like Dr Who's Tardis; bigger on the inside than on the outside, and full of suprises. You go in ,ask if they have such and such, look around, and say " OH! They sell this too!"
There is the personal touch too. You go to the fruit and veg shop and ask what's come in today, as there seems to be something different every day. There were slices of melon one day. "Big or small?" he asks( I wish,amongst many other things, we had spent more time getting to know Castara, and found out more people's names)."Big, of course" I reply, and get a chuckle in response.
(My father always said " If you're gonna have one, have a big un!") I digress, again.
It also struck me what a healthy lot the locals must be; fruit growing everywhere and jumping off the trees at you(I was almost hit by a mango,and looked around to see who had thrown it) and the freshest of fresh fish, and those free range chickens and eggs.
Oh how I miss those chickens, and even the damn cockerells!
See you!
Carol :cry:

Hi Carol,

looks really like you are becoming a Castaraphile :D Don't know where my posting went I left here (or did I put it somewhere else??? can't remember).

The veggi shop in Castara is run by Ralph (a.k.a. DJ). He is a really friendly guy and you could also ask him for special fruits or vegetables and he will bring it for you the next day.

Last year along the soccer Woldcup I found a photo of his shop in a German newspaper with an articel about easy living in Togabo. I copied it for him and he was very happy about it.

Go on posting, Carol, maybe you can catch me :lol:

Cheers
Gisela
