I took my watch strap, which keeps breaking, to the Cobblers today hoping that they might be able to fix it for me, and save me the cost of having to buy a new watch strap.
Not only did the very nice man at the cobblers mend it for me, he wouldn't charge me for it either. It was only when I asked him a second or third time if he was sure, that he suggested I make a donation to the charity box instead. How lovely was he?
Thank you Timpsons
I also got some really helpful advice and tips from the man at my local sewing machine shop when I popped in to buy a darning needle (I'm wanting to do some free embroidery), and had a nice chat with the librarians about a book I'd borrowed which I was returning.
It makes you wonder where we'll all be when the supermarkets and the internet manage to close down our town centres and high streets. None of the helpful advice, conversations and kind deeds will be available online. It kinda reminds me of the lyrics in Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" "You don't know what you've got till it's gone"
