a selfie I took in Winners at Strawberry Hill in Surrey. I am always amazed by all the stuff in stores left over after Christmas. I know some of it is bought by eager bargain hunters, but what about the rest? All the tatty decorations and shopworn clothes, all the strange items that someone somewhere thought would attract buyers... and then doesn't. I wandered around gazing in wonder and puzzlement, it was very entertaining and was only tempted by one green vase which I reluctantly left behind, sniff :)
