The upside is I got some great bargains, but that's no consolation.

Nice to have a chance to meet up with some blogger friends, but shame about the circumstances. xxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20633968.post-91637298336757071102014-02-01T18:55:57.689+09:002014-02-01T18:55:57.689+09:00What a shame to see such an iconic store close dow...What a shame to see such an iconic store close down.
