Christmas Shopping has begun.
Busy!
Christmas shopping time.
Christmas shopping by the good people of Dorking and some done by me too.
Obviously I can say nothing about the latter.
The shop has been very busy - people looking for something original and interesting for their friends and relations at this festive time.
I think some were also buying for themselves too.
And why not?
Stephen specialises in old telephones; he renovates them and converts them for use on modern BT lines.
Three times today he had a phone on the desk, plugged into the phone line. I then called it on my mobile, so that the customers could hear the ring and hear how good the tone quality was for conversation.
One like this - a stick phone sells for quite a lot of money.
One rather like this was bought today for £270.
I have sold well today too - though not in the hundreds of pounds class.
I was really pleased to see a teapot go that I have had on the shelves since March.
So, it was an enjoyable day.
This evening I have enjoyed relaxing with Saturday night TV.
Tomorrow - let's go hunting again!
