    Personally i never had any issue with the choice of previous music. Think i might check out charity shops next time i need a cheap pair of jeans for working on the car. Have a nice weekend Shawna.

    Hi Shawna! There was nothing wrong with jazz music in previous video 🤔 I actually thought it was all well done 😍 I'm not that convinced that classical music is better for a charity shop video 🤭 Nonetheless, I like watching all your videos, no matter what kind of music you attach to it 🤗 Love from Edinburgh 😀

    The jazz was brilliant! No need to change your music choices, they're excellent :)
    Loved the charity shop tour - I'm not really a fashionista, but some of them had such a great selection of books and artworks! I don't see that often, at all.

    There was a hint of it in your video, but there are some fabulous residential streets on either side of the High Street. Shirley Mason, the singer from rock band Garbage is from Edinburgh and has a home in Portobello/Joppa (she lives in LA and her familial home is in Comely Bank). I know the area well but had never walked the streets on the Edinburgh side of the High Street (versus the Firth of Forth side). Wow, there are some fabulous spots.
    As for the jazz music, it was fine. I can't believe anyone would 'complain'. It's your show and you do a fine - and constantly improving - job.

      Shirley’s originally from the Inch, I know people who went to school with her.

    • @MrCherryJuice

      @@Auldreekie967 Possibly. But she went to Flora Stephenson Primary School and then Broughton High School, both in Comely Bank, which is where the Manson family home is. This, particularly attending primary school at Flora Stephenson, just us the street from Manson's home, strongly indicates that she spent her Edinburgh life, starting at a young age, in Comely Bank.

    I loved portobello when I went there (been several times) last time back in 2022 I found something I wanted in each of those shops! Beautiful beach too & I highly recommend the Greek bakery. Could you please do a video on Corstorphine? I know that area well too & the German bakery there is also really good but it’s only open a couple days a week.

    Goodness Shawna, another absolutely delightful Charity Shop video! 😍 As many people already beat me to it, your jazz music was really wonderful in previous videos! But you know I’m a fan of the music in all of your videos 👏 As also noted, I loved you capturing the two sweet dogs 😍 And the Charity Shops themselves, these videos are so lovely to enjoy and soak in 🥰 I love them all so much. I can see why you appreciate the peacefulness of Portobello 🙌

    A great idea for a post. I wrote to the then Prince Charles once when he said in the papers that Charity shops could do with more volunteers and I suggested a collaboration between them and taking people from Job Centres - turned out to be mainly men- and give them their money for helping out in the shops. Well they fairly got them sorted out in the Borders all neat and tidy. And I said they could put it on a CV in their search for a permanent job

    I ❤ Portobello & Leith. I may be moving over from the western coast and these are areas I enjoy. I have friends in Leith and the dog walking along Portobello suits me 😂 I've parted with money in so many charity shops. There is one around the corner from me that sells over stock from Zara, new items with the tags still on.
