The town trio investigated the town, and finding all the listed cafes closed on Sunday, found a boutique coffee house in a bookshop dedicated to poetry and verse.

However, this one stopped serving before the walkers returned to town, so the one just up the hill in a second-hand book and classical music CD shop was invaded instead.

The town celebrated the 'Elephant Parades' put on during WWII by a circus housed nearby for the duration, hence the elephant motifs seen on the brightly coloured buildings up and down the main streets.
