A FREE DAY ... WHATEVER THAT IS!

 

Today we don't have a market... but we do tomorrow.

So, let's make the most of today.

We don't really have any plans, we'll just potter.  I will try and get the last wave runner finished, so I can take it and the others to market tomorrow.

Stew will go and do his grocery shop (read buy Diet Coke lol).

Then we will probably go somewhere nice for lunch.

Late yesterday afternoon, our village was visited by a 'Santa Parade' of Vintage cars, music and carols, and Santa etc.

ABOVE: There were quite a few old cars!  The Anglia made me smile so much though.

We had an Anglia when I was around 10 years old.  My Mum loved that little car. 

Then one night Dad came home from the pub and told her it was getting picked up the next morning, cos he had SWAPPED it for a ten foot aluminium dinghy!!!!

My Mum was outraged, and screamed at him:  "Am I supposed to damn well ROW down the road to the supermarket then?"

I can still hear them laughing about it afterwards.  Dad bought her a new car the next day ... so crisis averted.

The ten foot aluminium dinghy was our first 'boat'... fairly quickly followed by the first of quite a few bigger and 'better' boats.

Funny how just seeing that little Anglia yesterday brought back some happy memories of my childhood.

ABOVE: Last night my friends and I did a Christmas Gift swap... and I ended up with a lovely notebook, with that on the cover.   'D' said she hoped I got it, as she thought it was perfect for me!  lol  She's not wrong.  

Now back to today... I'm going to do the housework, then head into Crabby Quarters to get that last runner done.

Oh and before I forget, Stew tried out the new sprinkler last night while I was out.  He said it is REALLY great, and covers a big area in one go.  That's great.  I will put it on the front lawn tonight, as he did the back lawn and pots last night.
