It’s not the most original title, but it will do to start another of a short series on adventures in Didsbury on a cold wet winter day.
Many will mumble that there is nothing here that should grace a historical blog, but that is to miss the point.
And picture quickly become a glimpse of our past, and these are no different.
Added to which there will be lots of people who moved away from Didsbury a long time ago, and are unaware of the dominance of the charity shop on our high streets and in particular this block of shops of which Oxfam inhabits.
Which just leave me to reflect on how some charity shops have gone up market. No longer are they poky little places, where you have to rummage to find what you might want. Instead their shops are welcoming and exciting places which are light and bright, and fun.
