Olney with Thrifty

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A little while ago I had a lovely dovely super duper house guest- Thrifty from <a href="http://www.athriftymrs.com/" target="_blank">AThriftyMrs</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My wonderful little northern chum came down to stay and have a bit of a holiday. Since we both run blogs, it was a hot topic to us so we spent a lot of time together planning new features, taking photographs and discussing the best ways to do things. It was a lot of fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As well as 'worky' things, we took some time out to visit a quaint little village nearby called Olney. Olney is full of charity, gift and cutsie homeware shops so perfect for an afternoon mooch. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF1Ps5g11i8cIv72bvvh2yJs-ZIp5SXp1rTUHwZqvW6gfX6j6Ou0pRtipLSx5gMxOVKlrwq0r60YJzF7YP8pjWPrXyelsu1QhYt_WTAgYZ2QtwyqWkJbmbTARMCHVmAa2yrEuNuJm45YGv/s1600/charity1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I absolutely adore those kinds of shops where you don't know what you are going to find, where each nook is a potential treasure trove waiting to be explored. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Amongst her many talents, Thrifty is also a charity shop expert and knows all the tricks of the trade so was it was brilliant to have her with me for tips and help. I usually go in charity shops and find nothing but Thrifty uncovered some gems for me to add to my collection of 'things I don't need but certainly want'.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't know if it's a 'getting older' thing or if I've always been this way, but sometimes there is just nothing better than wandering about sweet, quiet places and nattering with a chum. We plan on making quite a habit of it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you haven't already, do go over and follow <a href="http://www.athriftymrs.com/" target="_blank">Thrifty's Blog</a>.
