Falkland is the sort of village that women remark on as being 'cute'.
To emphasise this Isabelle was up out of bed sharpish because I'd mentioned that I had to be back there this morning - a Woman with a gripe, well a leak.
This was all the more unusual after going to bed about 5 am.
You should be getting a feel now for the drawing power of this fabled conservation village for women.
In fact much of Falkland is nowadays more or less a dormitory settlement for females, Social Workers and the like, who set off every morning to places like Edinburgh adding to the wear and tear on the Forth Road Bridge.
Saturday sees groups of visiting women trawling around the few emporia looking at 'cute' objects d'art, or chatting to other women in the overpriced cafe named after some historical female figure over a Latte and a fruit scone.
Isabelle made a few purchases, "Gifts".
To me some looked rather like stuffed fridge magnets.
This novelty item was a winner, obviously combining two aspects that appeal to women in one, ie: cushions, and 'heart warming' sentiments . Something in the vein of "Friends Are For Life Not Just For Christmas'.
They could have gone one better by filling it with something that smells 'nice' and that would be three in one, four if it was somehow edible and made of chocolate.

"Gifts" are the best reason to buy things. It's even better when you "accidentally" forget who you bought it for so you just have to keep it for yourself .
It's true that in my experience a lot of 'Gifts' are perhaps never 'received'.
Rather than the thrill of the chase, it seems to be mainly about the thrill of the purchase for women,
yes, I've observed these kinds of behaviours often in the female gender and they are a rich source of amusement. I would be good if you can continue in your pithy observations and reports on these diverting female foibles....Keith
