Marjorie may not like this photo but it captures her determination to visit all the<\/div>\n
charity stores in Muswell Hill.  Escorted by our amused and joyful grandchild, Morgan.<\/div>\n
Marjorie gets lost often\u2026or is it me that does so?<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
No trip to London, England, is complete without a day spent hopping from one CHARITY STORE to<\/div>\n
ANOTHER.   Recycling shopping is one of our favourite activities.   Not just clothes\u2026lots of books, dishes<\/div>\n
and boots.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cMarjorie, next time we come to London let\u2019s travel very light. Maybe come in the nude even.\u201d<\/div>\n
:Why?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWe can dress ourselves in the charity stores cheaply.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
We did not quite go that far but could have done so.  And a nude flight would give a little more<\/div>\n
room for our hips in those economy airline seat designed for those with no fat\u2026for human<\/div>\n
skeletons.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
That\u2019s our eldest son, Kevin, somewhat patiently awaiting us.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Why is Morgan looking at me in such startled fashion?   Simple.  Her job is to prevent use from getting lost.<\/div>\n
Easy to do.   So she acts like an insufferable mother hen. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Dominating Muskel Hill is this grand church now turned in to a grand pub.  When the church tried therefore no pubs allowed<\/div>\n
in the village.  Now it is closed.  But even now there are only two pubs.   So if its beer you are after walk down to Crouch End or<\/div>\n
up to Highgate whose graveyard features the massive headstone devoted to Karl Marx.  Never get bored in London.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Kevin has lived in many London homes so we are quite familiar with the city and<\/div>\n
all its nooks and crannies.   Highgate, Crouch End snd Muswell Hill were the last <\/div>\n
three before Shenley.  The result?   We know a lot of Charity Ships In London and <\/div>\n
consider Muswell Hill one of the best with 7 or 8 or 9 Charity shops in the urban village.<\/div>\n
A super good fish and chip shop like Toff\u2019s in the middle.  Today I am wearing Canadian<\/div>\n
Salvation Army shoes, pants and shirt so we do shop in Canada as well.  <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
If you have nto shopped in a charity store you have missed a nice experience.<\/div>\n
