There is a jewellery shop too isn't there? Nina Christie or something similar?


Not sure if she does repairs but she has an excellent reputation. There is some comment in the archives on her work if one uses the search tool.


So essentially ED needs neither of your suggestions....


Next.

I love Nina Christie, I have bought some lovely jewellery for presents etc from her which were a bit unusual and reasonably priced too. Plus she has also repaired a few things for me really well and I think she does commissions and engagement rings as well. I would definitely recommend her.

If I could have one shop we don't have I would like a branch of Hobbs. Totally not essential, and it would never happen, but would be nice.


A good perfumery wouldn't go amiss. Though just being in the same town as Liberty and Selfridges has been enough to create a large drain on my finances and a full drawer of different perfume.... so maybe not!

The White Company. Said it before I know, but I quite like their stuff. Only in the Sales though.

Surprised they've not opened there since LLane is so like Marylebone High Street in so many ways...

Come to that, a Patisserie Valerie and a Tattoo parlour would be good.

Boots or Superdrug would give the LL chemists a kick up the backside, to be sure.


, Gap and a TK Maxx please.

I'd disagree that local shops sell only overpriced tat. In recent years I've bought a few frocks and skirts (maybe six frocks and four skirts in total) from the ED shop on North Cross Road and from Celestial (in both cases this stock is at the back of the shop, so not apparent from the window/door). The skirts were all 30-40 quid and the dresses 40-75 (mostly around 45). They have all been my favourites. I'm wearing one of the skirts now. All are from small labels and more stylish than anything from the chains, and the prices were not more expensive. (When I took a look in The White Stuff recently the prices for tops and skirts seemed higher and their stuff is somewhat tat-ish and certainly ordinary.)


While Gap is absolutely great for plain wardrobe staples like jeans, jumpers, or black jackets, or jim-jams, there rarely seems to be anything fun or really interesting and stylish in there.

I love betting and would like to see some sort of premises where I can do this.


I also really like buying those birthday cards with an old-fashioned photograph juxtaposed with a hilarious 'modern' caption, often implying something rude!


I'd love a shop that sold these to open in ED.

Dream Machine used to sell them but it was unclear what was for sale and what was part of their front room.


Opening a record store in a suburb is basically suicide these days.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
