Hi all, yet again the plan was to post this the other day, but you know what they say about the best made plans of mice and men. Then plan B or C, or even D, was to take grandson to school this morning, grab a cheeky coffee and a bacon roll ( which has to be done ), do a bit of shopping and then go home home and do the page. What could be easier, no problem !!
However, fate decided to play it's hand. So, having just paid for the said coffee and bacon roll, and before Karen and myself had found a table and sat down, my phone rings. It's darling daughter, "Daaaad" and when any parent hears this, you instantly know this is going to cost me. " I've sort of forgot my work top this morning and left it at home. Please can to bring it to work for me ?" So I now know I'm going to Freshwater, after going home to drop off the shopping and collect daughter's wok top. For those who don't know, Freshwater is the other side of the Island, about 45 minutes to an hour away, depending on the time of day.
So, by the time we get home, have a cut of tea and a bite of lunch, an hour later it's time to get grandson from school again. But on the plus side, we did get some lovely new stock from a charity shop in Freshwater which will be lovingly restored and upcycled and put on the stall tomorrow.
This weekend we are at the Festival of Heroes event, being held at the County Ground at Northwood which has something for all the family. We have some lovely new sea glass that has been made this week, some thing for all the younger generations, including the dinosaurs and not forgetting the hearts and bracelet from Freshwater this morning. Please come along either Saturday or Sunday, it will be great to meet you and have a chat.
