IlFord Old Park :-)

Dont know about Stratford, I know they are still doing works over there. You are the Research Queen, ask Dr Google :-) <3

I dont think Rolls and Rems is still there to be honest. There is only one haberdashers left in Seven Sisters, before you get to Hornsey Road. It stocks Asian materials, lots of brocades and silks. There is still a market in SS. They have poshed it up a bit.

Have not been under the canopy for ages, but when there last, quite a few charity shops and estate agents. The Angel and Gatehouse are still there. But I agree, you need to be a milyonhair to live there now. :-( :-(

It was Steve Marriott stomping ground as a young un :-D

That's right Ann....I always thought it was Valentine's Park but I think it might have been another :-D :-D

The Clarence Brown eggs are yummy…..Tesco have them Belle.

Evening all :-D <3

Before I sent that pic today…I was googling Itchy Park…..anyways Itchycoo Park the Small Faces record popped up…..apparently the idea for the song came from a park in Ilford :-D

Evening Ann <3 :-D

Haven't had those in yonks :-D :-D

Actually Maddie, once I discovered Rolls and Rems in Seven Sisters Road I didn't bother with JL. R&R was much cheaper and a good forage would bring up some fabulous fabrics - I'll have to get on my googlemobile and see if they're still there but I doubt it :-( Great lock up market opposite too - long depleted.
Jones Brothers (JL branch) was round the corner on Holloway Road - now that's going back to Moses! :-0

Yep, I'm bored and cheesed off that we moved away now but the upper canopy with plain bulbs for xmas was getting too expensive. :-(

Evening Ann :-D <3

Did they stand to attention, before you drown them? :-D :-D

Oh Ok then ;-) :-D :-D

There was talk about a V & A at Stratford or am I thinking of something completely different :-D

Wotcha :-D <3 <3

Just finished my boiled eggs and soldiers :-D :-D

Evening Belle :-D <3

Lets not fall out.............we arrived together. :-D :-D

Watching Secrets of the Museum at the V & A.

Evening Maddie, you snucked in behind me :-D <3 <3

Evening Island :-D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~s to Fly, things to sort out :-S <3

Night Fly, take care <3 <3

Beg your pudding Island. But JB's haberdashery was just behind the smellies dept. I can remember diamond shaped wooded cases stuff with balls of wool. :-D

The smell from Lush is too cloying for me, dau used to love their bath bombs, made me heave. :-0

Never bought a swim bar, as I never went swimming. :-D :-D ;-)

NightFly :-D

Donald Fagen. Another to add to my favourite sounds

Off out again things to sort out :-0

Night All <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

JL. If I'd meant Jones Bros I would have said JB wuden Ah.
Just joking. I've been listening to Tiny Tim on FB - not the tiptoe through the tulips one, this ones still breathing :-D
Can't see me visiting either now :-(

What's L***? My hash key does [[[[ :-S Do you mean Lush formerly known as Cosmetics To Go? I used to like their stuff, they did an after swim shampoo bar.

Are you talking about JL Oxford St, or Jones Bros, Island?

The haberdashery department is up on the 3rd or 4th floor at JL. Very much smaller I agree.

The one shop I cannot abide in OS is L### I have to hold by breath to walk past it. :-(

Interesting Von :-D I've made a few little books, A3 paper painted, embellished, stitched, then cut and folded in a canny fashion. Fun :-D
I keep meaning to make a textile one but would likely be a bit bigger.

Maddie, you've reminded me, JL pong department :-0 I used to take a deep breath to walk through it to their fabric dept. I could feel my lungs collapsing :-0
The fabulous fabric and yarn dept shrunk drastically, I wonder if either are still there?

Afternoon Ladies :-D <3 <3 <3 <3

No I didnt sleep in, I was up and out for a mooch around the West End.

Wandered around JL and bought some lovely smellies. <3

Sparkles for some grub, but nothing very exciting in the clothes department, mixture of winter and summer clobber. Nothing new. :-(
