The Barnardo Charity Shop on Barkingside High Street has been closed for three weeks for refurbishment. The official opening was on Friday 3rd November at 10am. I happened to know the Celebrity Opener so I popped along with the camera to take a few shots. Miss Linda Bowley, no less, arrived just before 10am in her Ferrari, which she parked at the back of the shop, not wishing to make a fuss. And here is Miss Bowley with staff members, scissors held akimbo before cutting the ribbon to declare the refurbished shop well and truly open. I went inside and purchased a fine selection of Christmas Cards, some tags and carrier bags. Do go to the shop- their Christmas goods are well worth looking at and buying - excellent value and good quality to boot!
