It's that "bit in the middle" time again - and, despite "our gang" having been at his place till late last night watching films, John-John and I are off on our annual shopping trip to Chiswick.
It's a bit of a hit-or-miss situation, where charity shops are concerned! If people receive loads of unwanted stuff for Xmas - or if Grandad dies and they're clearing the house - there might be a glut of possibly suitable clothes or books. We got one item each, so that's something. One takes one's chances... Jx
It's all very chi-chi and "smart suburban", but I've never really thought of leafy Chiswick as being "Cosmopolitan". I mean - we saw Sophie Ellis-Bextor, her family and her Mum shopping there once, so you just know it's a bit posh! Jx
I hope you find lots of good things!

DeleteA shopping spree in Chiswick sounds so cosmopolitan.
