Desmonds

Desmonds is the strangest hodge podge of a store that I’ve ever been in, but at the same time it kind of works.
At the front of the shop they’ve got a little counter where they serve fancy free-​trade coffees and tea. They’re quite nice actually and totally unexpected!
The middle part of the shop is your basic newsagents with drinks and mags and everything.
But then you continued to the back of the store where they’ve got like costume jewellery, random gadgets, and a whole case display of different pipes. I’m talking wooden Sherlock Holmes style pipes.
I left the shop feeling a bit confused, but with the knowledge that if I ever need a really strange assortment of things and I don’t feel like going into more than one shop, this might just be the place to return to!
