Bling on a string!

Wow, Kate. It all sounds mouthwatering!

Fantastic shopping plus freebies, and with free parking! That's a great way to spend an afternoon. Emily
Lots of fun for me and the kids! :)
'Bling' is all the gold jewelery that you see weighing rap artists down like boat anchors. I coined the term 'bling on a string' today to describe all the mad gold and jewel coloured trims and braids so popular in Indian fashion.
Whole day more like! We set off at 9:30 this morning, but it took us two and a half hours to get there because my clients car sat nav tried to tell us to go the wrong way and got it little electric knickers in a wedge! Did a similar trick on the way home at the Hangar Lane Gyratory System, where the obvious way is not the correct way back onto the M40... Then it dumped us in the Friday afternoon mobile car parking at Heathrow... :( We spent two hours in Joshi's, one having lunch, and another trying and failing to find the trims we wanted. It was fun though: well worth the traffic!
Liz, who must go and get the genies costume finished.
It's actually quite a small shop in a very Indian bit of the Edgeware Road, up at the Wembley end - about a mile or so from Wembley Stadium. There are chunks of slightly shabby town centre interspersed with
1930's-50's suburbia... The shop is long and narrow and crowded with rolls of fabric. They let us not only rake through the fabric on display, but brought swatches out and took us through to the warehouse to rummage in the back and see what else we could find. They are just so nice, and if you tell them what the fabrics are for, if they don't have exactly what you are looking for, they can usually find alternatives.Liz, if you do come down, give me a call, and I'll try to meet you there. Then we can pop next door to the Indian run pizza place and have lunch when we have de-stocked the shelves! ;) But don't let me go up the road to the Indian sweet shop...
I had a pasta dish with vegetables in a spicy tomato sauce, with bits of chilli in and Mozzarella on top: very yummy!
