For my breakfast this morning I traveled to Strandtown (no, this isn't a café review) where I enjoyed a most marvelous fry and hot coffee. But I was spoilt for choice as I counted at least 8 cafés in such a compact shopping area. That's not mentioning half-a-dozen take away establishments, a 'donut' shop and an ice cream parlour. These Strandtown folk must really like their food.
Due to being a Sunday morning, most of the general merchants doors were closed and the shutters down. Having said that, there seems to be a jolly good mix of shops along the road, better investigated on a weekday I'm thinking.
