I love the look of that little ripple of bow-fronted period shops on Fortis Green Road with curved, reflective windows, forcing us to peer into them just a little more closely. 
Cosi Homewares is a furniture and accessories shop in one of these treasures which is always worth a little browse. It’s not the first place I think of when buying gifts but I often find something perfect when I’m on the point of despair. One year I found three beautifully printed fine cotton sarongs,each beautifully presented in their own bag, for my nieces – great relief, all done on one fell swoop in a calm and relaxed environment. Worth a detour.
