The High Street . by beryl

The High Street .

I had to pop into town today on one or two errands , including to the jewellers as I had two pieces of jewellery in need of repair . The safety chain on my gold fancy gate bracelet had broken and for a while I thought I had lost it It has a sentimental value as it was a long service gift from the county when I took retirement from teaching !and my other chain bracelet needed a new clasp on it ! -- I didn't realise how expensive these things would cost to be repaired !! . Oouch !!!
Worth getting repaired. Nice street shot.

Oops, very expensive, I’ve been there, a diamond went missing out of my mother’s ring, I couldn’t leave it so I nearly had to take a mortgage out to pay for it!!

Nice street shot. Is Wellington a big city?

Nicely captured street scene. Jewellers certainly know how to charge

@gijsje No Bep , Wellington is only a small county town !

Lovely street scene, will be lovely once your jewellery is fixed and you are able to wear them again.

Yes expensive but better than lying in a drawer & never worn! Love to see your street shot, looks pretty much like our local high streets. Christmas is appearing!

I didn't know they did long service awards for teachers! Definitely worth hanging on to! Nice candid capture

@busylady -- this is going back to the 1990's Judith - you had a token to go to a certain Jewellers or camera shop -- I think they stopped this very soon as 2 years later my friend and colleague did not receive anything from the county !- and she had been in Shropshire all her teaching life without a break !

Lovely street capture and the decorations are up. I think we are living in the past with prices sometimes not realising how much they have all gone up but it will be great to get them repaired and wear them again.

wow no cars, that's the first thing that hit me!

@koalagardens The high street is a car / traffic free zone during shopping hours , the street is not very wide -- so it is much more pedestrian friendly !!

I'm so glad you didn't lose your jewellery. But yes, repairs aren't cheap.

Looks like a busy area. Nice candid.
November 24th, 2017  
Best to get them fixed. Nice street shot!
November 24th, 2017  
What a nice shopping street!

Expensive yes, but at least you can wear the items again now.
