Bits of shopping. Get, in change, our first of the new pounds. The coins are bimetal, with silver centres surrounded by gilt. They're not quite round, although they almost look it, but twelve sided. The centre features a rose, leek, thistle, and shamrock. Can't help wondering whether, once Brexit has finished playing out, it will be down to the odd couple - the rose and the leek.
