Boot sale , garden and sea

 This morning we went to the boot sale as usual. I got an apron for 20p, no pic of that but it is a wipeable one rather than material. I like the cloth ones but they get really mucky! I also got two lovely specimen vases to use for my hydroponics, they were £3 and two necklaces for 20p each.

Darren and Tina went off to the have a go archery session at Burton Constable and after I had chatted with Anya I did go and do some pruning in the front garden for an hour.


Darren and Tina got back in time for the Grand Prix which I watched with them. Tina did have a go at Burton Constable.

I spent some time upstairs as I needed to clear away from all the preparation for the sale and put everything away again. I went down to get some tea and Tina asked if I wanted to join them for fish and chips by the sea. We enjoyed then and then Darren drove us to Mappleton. A lot of pics, took a long time to catch that seagull!











I finished off the clearing up when we got home and did a bit of ironing. Then had a bit of a play with a design for Tuesday.
Catching up with a drama now.

  1. A good set of bargains from the boot sale today. You seem to do very well every time you go. It’s just a knack you’ve got I think πŸ™‚
    I’d quite like to have a go at the archery myself. Not too sure if I’d manage to hit any targets though! That string looks very close to Tina‘s glasses. I’ll probably end up whipping mine off if I wasn’t careful 😊
    It was nice that you actually got out for tea and for a ride round.It looks really nice from the pictures. The ones of Darren and Tina together are also really nice.
    I quite like the middle one on your design sheet. None of them look easy to cut out of glass though! I’m looking forward to seeing it 😊
    Enjoy your drama.

  2. I do pretty well at the boot sales and trying to resist things that I really like but don’t need.
    It was really nice to go out for tea and have the trip to Mappleton, in a morbid way it has been interesting watching the coastal erosion, very sad but also fascinating,
    I do think the photos of Darren and Tina came out well.
    Will probably do some more sketch ideas tomorrow and then make a decision for Tuesday.
