on the way back to the station last night there were some incredible sudden rain showers. i sheltered under this shop canopy.

As if by magic, the shop keeper appeared and invited me to shelter in his shop. it was a really nice tailors shop and the owner was a very nice chap. it was obviously i was't going to buy anything (my trousers are beyond repair) so it was simply a matter of kindness !

hoorah for such things. (if i remember what his shop is called i'll let you know)

update: the shop is Nicola Donati. i took a photo of the shop on a dry morning here
