With the exception of the one by the station, Hamlet Court Road chazzers are priced high. Must make a return trip to The Cornerstone, when I went previously we bought some lovely HM marmalade which was a bonus

It was the Sense on Broadway. The Cornerstone is very good for bargains. The staff are so nice too.

First trip of the year was on holiday, needed a mug and something to read.  Came to 3euro, so left 5.

Local first trip today.   Struck gold.  Ten skeins of Icelandic wool.   One is the thick lopi and the other nine are much finer.  Had a google when i got home an let's say I paid less than a 10th of what it sells for new.   Currently airing outside (it's -10) so anything like moths will also freeze.   I picked up a souvenir dish and the total after Seniors Discount (the white temples and visible roots must have given me away) was $13.

Off to search patterns

Icelandic lopi is amazing stuff! I made a hat with the thick stuff & it is Amazingly warm.

@Cherryfudge, we had our usual three weeks in Southern Spain, a couple of days in Gibraltar and a weekend in  Belgium.

Gibraltar had the strangest charity shop, it was about 3ft wide and 10 ft long!  Everything was just in piles and just a mess, so gave it  miss.   Like a jumble sale had exploded in a very small space.

Southern Spain has a few animal rescue charity shops and the local Cancer/Hospice society has nice shops.   Usually pick up fresh reading material there and drop off our reading material and a few its and pieces before we go home.   Let's face it, there's always something that you take on holiday and don't wear or decide why did I ever buy this?

Was it in a church? I'm pretty sure I passed one by when I visited, but it was shut.

Silver with turquoise??  Looks like what they sell a lot of in the SW of the USA to me.  In any case a bargain for £1.

Sadly I don’t think it is real silver or turquoise, but I know what you mean. I used to harbour a desire to wear lots of silver and turquoise jewellery and a denim shirt whilst singing Desperado by the Eagles🤣🤣

Down a side street just off the main shopping street.  I recall there was a square with seating nearby, so there may be church there.

And all the time looking like a wonderfully young Linda Ronstadt.
