Sunday xx

Lovely sunny day today!

We got up and did some washing and then went to the car boot sale. Anais had a Jacqueline Wilson book, Roman had some Simpson's Top Trump cards....................

..........Anais and Roman had this to share.  It is a box with letter and number moulds and plaster of paris.  Today Mark helped them cast their names in letters and they are being left to dry overnight so they can paint them tomorrow.

I had this little wooden table for only 50p!  In Homemaker magazine they upcycle a lot of furniture and I saw this and thought I'd give it a go.  This is my project for when we get home, I plan on sanding it down and then shabbying it up, maybe painting it cream or pale blue.  Don't know where it will go yet but couldn't really leave it there for 50p!

I also had some frilly knitting yarn in natural colours, left picture, and five balls of Rico Can Can in white, right picture.  They were cheaper than the RRP and will make nice homemade birthday and Christmas presents and Anais can also have a go at knitting with it.

Today Anais and Roman have been picking more plums from the plum tree and were also allowed to get some grapes from the site owners greenhouse.

Jenny and the kids washed Jenny's caravan and car and she found this freaky looking caterpillar in her bucket!  Mark and the kids released him into the bushes and he crawled away rather fast.

This afternoon we went to a local "festival" which was sadly a little disappointing.  It claimed to have a craft fair which consisted of not very many stalls the most interesting being the bee keepers stall which gave me the creeps!

Tea today was gammon done in the slow cooker, mixed vegetables and roast potatoes done in the halogen oven.  Pudding was a plum crumble to try and use some of the many plums up!
