Photo Essay: An amble down Pinner High Street

It was one of those rare days when the kids were at school and I was on holiday and the weather was good and it was Diya’s nativity play and and and. So we decided to take off to Pinner (another village next to our village) to do a spot of shopping for lunch. I decided to cook so wanted to go check out the butchers. If you are thinking about finding a theme, dont, its just a bunch of random photographs that I took in Pinner, but which can still be bunched into the cake window, the stream and bridge and others.

Given that we are the proud owners of a pea-princess who rules over us and her slightest wish is our command, birthday cakes are a bit of a challenge. So it was with big surprise that we spotted this cake shop. And that’s your princess cake. Once you have finished with the cake, you get to play with the doll. I want one!. What a great place.

More great cakes inside and then a 40th birthday for a guy who is obviously chilling out on the sofa watching footy and drinking beer. What a great artiste.. :)

Then we come to the stream. Its bit boring when you see it from the front. Whole bunch of notices are strung up on the railing.

And you have strange giggling and smiling girls in front of the railing. I scared her by saying that there is a pigeon on the tree above who is going to poop and you can see how she is giggling away after my tease.

Here’s the stream with a lovely cute little bridge over it.

The stream and then you have lovely creeper on the trees.

Creepers all over the place. Just imagine how it would look during the summer? Nice colours!

Now come the misc photos which I cannot classify.

Lovely shop cum house. These are at least 150 years old..

If only these trolleys can talk (after drinking some Glenfiddich, of course), they can say so many stories of so many meals cooked, so many dreams purchased and and and.

A real estate agent’s shop window, this window won the best dressed window award :)

Flying frikking rats, and then somebody actually threw bread on the road for them to eat? Disgusting

The weather was closing in and they had predicted storms. Plus my dear wife’s nose was very near emitting light, she turns into Rudolph whenever the weather turns cold so we took off..
