Walking down the street to where I was getting a Covid vaccination, I came across an independent toy shop (a rare thing in the UK)…
A toy shop with a full window display of Star Wars toys - something I’ve not seen in years. It took me right back to being a kid in the early 80’s again - where these toys were seemingly on the shelves in every toy store and supermarket.
The prices weren’t too bad either - and always good to have an alternative to the likes of tax dodgers amazon - as well to actually be able to see in the flesh something that may interest us; the size, quality, look, and feel (instead of a stock image photo).
Looking forward to going back again - with some cash in my pocket this time 😃
The simple things in life, eh? 👍
Congratulations on the vaccination! And I feel exactly the same about Amazon and shopping in-person. I’ve never resorted to buying from Amazon for many reasons, but I’ve had to do the vast majority of shopping online for the past year and it’s not the same. Just the other day I finally went in to my favourite local bookshop and browsed for half an hour. Felt brilliant and I came away with more books than I probably should have. Things are looking up 😃
