Hugh,
This is wonderful! I love when you take pictures during your walk, giving us the opportunity to follow in your footsteps: inside the chemist's, snaps of Mr. Singh and the other locals, snaps of many other interesting things (like the stones preventing the parking on the pavement). There are so many good ones but my favorite might be the photo of the woman smiling at you from inside the restaurant. She seems to be genuinely tickled that you are taking her photo.
Nice job! Keep 'em coming!
Dan
