For a while now, I have avoided the West Village- pretty much ever since the onslaught of that ludicrous and highly unbelievable series that brought along the cupcake craze. What was once a quite pleasant area is now sort of a mini-mall of useless items and tourists abound (cupcake in hand). Nonetheless, I decided to take a stroll around the other day just to avoid the humdrum of the daily walking areas, and I finally got a chance to enter the environs of the English store Myers of Keswick. Over the years, for some reason, I have passed by it many a time but it has always been closed. Not so the other day, when I went in and looked around with good fun at the British wares on display. It brought back all those days and nights I spent in London- and not caring a whit about what was around me, so wrapped up was I in my course of study (which turned out to be a flop, a fact which cannot be entirely blamed on me, I believe). Well, I left with two pies- a pork pie (their specialty) as well as a shepherd's pie.
