(One goes to each of the shops on the list to collect a stamp, and possibly win a prize packet, but mostly it is an excuse to go shopping.)  So me and my friends decided that it was a good day to head up to the shops in the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"983\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop-983x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop-983x1024.jpg 983w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop-288x300.jpg 288w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop-768x800.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop-1475x1536.jpg 1475w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop.jpg 1696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 983px) 100vw, 983px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the first shop on the list was in this town, which is named for the large rock formation that looms over the town like the ruins of an ancient fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop1-809x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop1-809x1024.jpg 809w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop1-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop1-768x972.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shop1.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, after we had gone to three shops in the big city (spent money) and had lunch, it was time to turn around and head back home.

Why quilting fabric of course, because one can never have too much fabric.  These are just small bits because I plan on turning these into more face masks, some for my friends, but mostly for me.  Because after all, one can&#8217;t wear the same thing day after day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was supposed to be a hot and sunny day, perhaps the sort of day for one to stay in near an air conditioner, but it was also the start of a shop hop.
