I’ve spent this week slowly easing into autumn - darting home through the torrential downpours (someone needs to tell my wardrobe that it’s not summer anymore), testing out the seasonal drinks on offer around town, and lighting candles as we say goodbye to post-7pm daylight.
.I’ve also been busy sorting through vintage for the semi-regular Addington Street Vintage Trail. Come say hi in the shop and nab yourself some homeware treats before heading to one of the many comedy shows happening this evening. Got a different kind of event you’d like featured on Don’t Miss? Drop me an email here.
Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
