I was walking about today and went into a few of our local shops. I was very surprised by Bunka. I have always thought they only sold ladies clothes, but they now have a very good range of home accessories, pretty things like photo frames, candle holders, kitchen bits a nd pieces. They also have a small but pretty selection of children clothes and a few toys. There are plenty of things I can buy for Christmas presents. By the way, the small flower shop on the corner, on the same side of the Dartmouth Road has now Christmas trees in stock, they are beautiful and I believe at very good prices. She also sells lovely glass chandeliers, again more ideas for some Christamas presents. It looks like my oroginal forecasted percentage of Christmas shopping in se23 may have just been increased quite a lot. Happy shopping in se23 to you all......................
