Started out with the intention of visiting the Arbeia Roman fort. But I got distracted by the idea that the really cheap charity shop was just a 100 m off the route.
So of course I had to see what they have. So I bought a size 18 green dress, a size 16 see through top, a pleated skirt that says 13 years, and a pair of sparkly earrings. All told 4.21 GBP including a 25 p donation!
I didn't want to carry that around all day so I took it back to the flat and put the earrings on.
Set out on a meandering stroll to Arbeia. The route took me past the end of Ocean Road where the museum is. That's the main street of the centre and as it was nearly 12 o'clock I started to look for a café. Found the Charleston in Mile End Road. Having a large cheese scone and butter with a pot of tea. Good value at 4.75 GBP.
