It cost me 50p! I got a set of Marilyn Monroe films for a pound and a set of Sherlock Holmes radio dramas on cassettes, also for a pound. The dearest thing I got was a Jemima Puddle-duck frame that I will do a drawing of her to put in it and another 50p buy was a great little cycle bell! If I never manage to ride a bike again it can sit on the exercise bike which I have been using. When you press the antenna together the wings open it is such fun!
When we drove home our road was clear but the queue waiting to go into the market and sale must have been a couple of miles!
We weren’t in for long then headed out for Burton Constable where Darren was taking part in an archery competition. I took a stool and some sketching material so didn’t go in the house today, but had an enjoyable afternoon. I will post some shots.
The little lamb was looking for its mates who had been taken inside for lamb feeding. A lovely setting for archery. The car belonged to one of the archers I think. The smithy was pretty interesting.
I did a couple of sketches, I need to get back into practice but it’s a start.
I have put another coat of varnish on the sign since dinner. I am now pretty tired but will try to hang out for Line of Duty this evening.
I think going to the boot sale a bit earlier was a goo£ choice. Sounds like the world and his wife left it until a bit later. But what would Easter be without sitting in traffic for a while. Good job you didn’t have to. You got some good bargains as usual. The hat looks good on you, and the bell is really cute.
ReplyDeleteBurton Constable does seem a lovely place to visit. You certainly made use of the nice weather to gets some good pics. I think your drawings look great. If that’s when you’re out of practice then I look forward to a few more when you’ve practiced a bit 😊
Lovely weather today and a couple of good outings. We were lucky to miss the traffic as well.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking that I will make the effort to sketch regularly and then just don’t get into the habit, today I went out with the idea firmly in my mind to get some sketching done,
Love the little bell, best get back on the exercise bike tomorrow!
