A proper shop has finally moved into the old ironmonger's in the village - has been a revolving art gallery-type place for ages. The usual Hackney hipster stuff - all muted colours and minimalism. Some pleasant stuff but a lot of it rather samey.
Dave still not really turned the corner - very tired and washed out but he did come out into the garden for breakfast.
I cycled to Pilates and on to the village to pick up more fruit - buying some gorgeous pecorino which I seem to have almost scoffed totally since coming home with it.
3 good things
1. Deliveroo - was able to get groceries delivered to mum in about 15 minutes as her bus route is out till Monday.
2. Back to Pilates - felt so hard as I did it but I always feel stronger after.
3. Ridiculous lunch of caviar crisps and fruit in the garden - well sometimes you just need to.
Nice looking shop, it's nice to see these areas keeping some old identities rather than becoming swamped with chains. We wandered up to Myddleton Road, in Bowes Park / Bounds Green today and found another street trying to preserve the shops, market and community feel.
Nice street scene - the shop does look inviting too. I love the old shop front design with the hardware store signage still in place (so many hops destroy the history & replace with gaudy looking decor these days!)
