So, off we tread down the high street in
Beamish Town 1918
ish. Firstly, let's pop into the hardware shop.
You can't hear her (or see her particularly well as these are phone pics -sorry) - but the shop assistant is asking us if we would like our knives sharpened? Reminding us that stainless steel has not yet been invented and a regularly visit to the knife sharpener is highly advisable. Thanks Miss - but we're off to the more popular and crowded......Sweet Shop!
It's complete
mayhem in here - let's pop across the road to the Grocers!
Now off we go, briefly, as my eyes are watering from
excitement (blurry pics sorry -
grrrrr) - to the
Haberdashery.....
I need to pop into the Printers & Stationers to buy a few bit & bobs......
An Exercise Book.......
A few little cards......
And
ephemera of all sorts....
But my favourite.....A
License to have my own male servant. Did you get one too - excellent!
Tram home....back to my house for tea and scones.... you will see the inside of my
Beamish Terrace House! That's Part III.
Hope you enjoyed our trip. Thank you for all your kind comments about my deck chair - I may even make another one after all that encouragement!
TTFN

Lovely! I really like that everything is in good condition & looks as if it was still new - someplaces have rusty old stuff which would never have been in a shop at the time.

ReplyDeleteThank you, I enjoyed that visit to Beamish. I think you're cheeky, get those scissors out girl and start cutting up those embroidered linens.
