Lost and abandoned in Long Stratton

 We went to take Ewan to school at 12noon in his zooty new uniform (well the embroidered top with Manorfield logo that I ordered online and which was delivered this morning by the nice man from Royal Mail) ...

Ewan in his classroom - I had to ask permission from the teacher to take this shot and no other child could be in it!

 After dropping little man off at Nursery school, I said to Hayzel that we had to go to the post office quickly, so I could post my 'Get Well' card that I got for my Auntie Barbara.  No problem we walked through the pathway to the post office and sorted that out.

There are a couple of these shortcuts/pathways hidden amongst/between the houses

 On  leaving the post office, I said that I wanted to go around the corner to take some pictures of the Swan Inn and Long Stratton main road ... Hayzel says, no problem 'I'm just going into the Co-op ....'
So I walk around the corner, take a couple of pictures and she hot foots it across the road (here she is just before crossing the road - the Co-op parking area is to the right of this picture).

Hayzel on road - Co-Op Pharmacy is at the end on the right with the red walls - this is not relevant to the story at this point*

Swan Inn

Main street with Barclays on the right (the red brick building)

Tattoo parlour

So I take a picture of the Tattoo place and then walk in the Co-op via the side door. Glasses steam up once inside.  Walk around inside. No Hayzel.
Go back out of the Co-op into the Minus 4, stand about looking for her in the street/parking lot ... No Hayzel.
Go back into the Co-op, figuring I might have missed her.  Glasses steam up again. Walk around inside. No Hayzel.
Come out, now with running nose and decide that I've missed her somehow and she's most probably on the way home by now.   So I do the same.
I'm stomping off down the road when I hear, 'Hey Mom!' ... turn around and here she comes moaning that  I left her behind!
Turns out she went into the Co-Op PHARMACY*
Duh.
