139/365: Happy Staffie Rescue, Bewdley

It topped out at or just below 30 °C here today, and it was hard going being outdoors in the afternoon, so I kept that to a minimum. UV of 7 as well, and that's almost as high as it gets in the UK. (8 is just possible in the south, but only for a few days each summer.) In the evening I went with a couple of other people to see Ocean, the new David Attenborough film, at St George's Hall in town. Very good in the usual Attenborough style, though as usual some of it was pretty sad in terms of what huge trawlers are doing to marine ecosystems. I'll do an actual film review post of it sometime in the next week.
My photo today is of the shop-and-café combo run by Happy Staffie Rescue, a local dog rescue charity. I passed by with an ice cream (from Teddy Gray's) in late morning. As those who know me will appreciate, I am not a dog person at all, but I'm thoroughly in favour of rescue (though not that it's needed...) and so I patronise this place fairly often. The near shop has a coffee shop taking up most of the space, with books for sale on shelves around the sides. The other shop sells a more usual selection of charity shop bits and pieces, from clothes to bric-a-brac to toys and games.
