Hello Theresa (if I may!)
I love your website – and I thought it would be good to connect,
I Love the Idea of the Thrift Festival and I thought your readers may be interested in some tips from my book The Thrifty London Guide, There is a lot of information in the book for Art lovers.
I originally compiled the “The Thrifty London Guide” so I could send it to London hospitals, so families of youngsters who are in hospital would be able to find inexpensive places to visit in London on the days when there youngsters were not receiving treatment – and were able to go out. I soon realised that the information enclosed would be helpful to all Londoner’s and visitors to London in these difficult economic times.
Would love to hear your thoughts,
Best Wishes
Lynn Culver
Hello Lynn
thanks for you comment, your book sounds like a brilliant idea! I have to say i was completely taken aback by the amount of Thrifty tips received from the public visiting the Festival of Thrift, its a sign of the times however as the austerity measures bite and the greed from a select few continues to grow. I used to live in London years ago and can appreciate the need to access affordable places to visit, but like you say its even more pertinent now, and a ll lot of visitors to the city would benefit. Send me some further details and i will circulate as needed.
Kind Regards
Theresa
