Bank Holiday Sunday

A beautiful morning.............sunshine and breeze. I was outside at 6.45am sorting out pea sticks for the mange-tout peas. Another job done. The radio said there were big thunderstorms in the UK last night, but not here, I had to water the peas to be able to get the sticks into the ground.

Then off to the local car boot sale where I bought this lot.

Guess what.....books for grandchildren! some cup-cake cases, preserves kit, two mugs, bunting and that large thing top left is a clay flower pot in the shape of a big boot. So I've chucked two mugs that had scratches inside, put the labels and jar toppers in the drawer ready for autumn, added the cake cases to the few I had left, put the books in with all the others ready for the next Jacob or Florence visit and the bunting away for next summer. The boot has been planted up with trailing geraniums (also from the boot sale). Total spend £5 for the boot and £2.90 for the other bits plus £1.40 for the geraniums.

Not so many car boots there this week and I was home again by before 10am. I put the TV on to see what time the French Open Tennis was due to start and it was already on -  well, the commentators were there and they were talking about it -  ITV4 have it on all day every day for the whole 2 weeks.

Outside for more gardening.

After lunch I drove over to see son, DIL and Willow for an hour or so. There was a flower festival and stalls in the village church so we went to have a look. I found another Mary Wesley book - 'Not That Sort of Girl' - on the  secondhand book stall........... one  the library don't have in stock.
Flower show theme was a book title.
This was 'The Dressmaker'

and this one 'Rabbit Stew and a Penny or Two' ( A book about life as a gypsy traveller)

We had tea and cake, I spoke to someone I'd not seen since 1978 and then  went home to watch more tennis.

Another day of getting through.

Back Tomorrow
