Congratulations to Norwich Lanes for being awarded first place in the City Category of the Great British High Street Competition. Sadly, Belly Button, the shop I used in my original post is no longer trading – a victim of hard times, perhaps. I should have checked first. Consider my busy wrist well and truly slapped.
I’ll grudgingly admit that it knocks Sheerness into the proverbial cocke-hat!
Very gracious of you 😉
I love the look and feel of the Belly Button boutique already.The color and whimsy of the place does a good job of wanting to pack my bags and catch a flight. Trouble is, I don’t actually like shopping.
<3 <3 Fabulous place for window shopping, perhaps?
Alas, Belly Button is no more. It’s closed. Plenty more to see though 😀
WHAT? IIn that event, l’ll not be booking that flight after all. 🙂
How long will High Streets have anything more than charity shops I wonder. By the time I left UK, our High Street had lost its gift shops, book shop, bank and cafe.
There is some evidence of a revival. People’s shopping habits are changing and the out-of-towners aren’t as popular as they once where. The big supermarkets understand this and have started to invest in smaller local stores. This isn’t necessarily good for small traders but it does reveal a trend. We live in hope!
