Taken today!Well amidst the hussel and stress of the last month, i managed just in time to be prepared for the christmas fair in the village.. it's a lovely day and one of the only days in the year when i see my neighbours and friends and isnt it always a shock how much older everyone looks for the first few minutes of meeting , and i realise it must be the same to them as well.............I'd lots of stock left from my old shop and i'd been busy doing clove oranges, and pot porri [ spelling] from the seed heads and herbs from the garden.... Nell was a waitress ! in between doing a sideline selling set's of ten pieces of folded paper and an elastic band for 10p!! the skallywag ! she did very well and i didn't hear to many complaints from people being thwaked by anonymouse wads of paper...............My brother usually has a stall but he's in Turkey this year he was missed.
I also managed to get a copy of "World without end" by Ken follet it's the sequel to " The pillars of the earth" and i've been waiting nearly 20yrs for it, but i'll wait a bit longer when i'm not stretched between two houses then i can really get to grips with it...
Village fair sounds lovely and friendly. And you got a book you wanted. Sounds like a good day!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really jealous. Your village fair sound lovely. I was ill and had to cancel the stall I'd arrangedd for ours, now I am all sulky! Glad you had a good day all the same.
ReplyDeleteI love village fairs and wish we had more of them here. Know what you mean about everyone looking a bit older - always wonder what they are thinking about me! xx
ReplyDeleteThe village fair sounds lovely, I wish we had that here. Such a nice thing to do in the depths of winter. Hope the book is good!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a 'half full' person so it's lovely to read your account of a good time at the village fair.
ReplyDeleteHow is Grandad? Hope he is on the mend.
