Friday was a funny day I was very tearful for no reason. But that’s okay it’s allowed. So I went to my go to thing for distraction and knocked up another scrappy hanging.
We stopped off at our local pub to treat ourselves to one of these bad boys. They are massive and delicious. The pub are making lots of take out food from their usual menu and have set up Ella’s Sundae Stall. It’s a family run business and much loved within the community and demand for their food is still high even during lockdown.
Saturday we had a bit of excitement on the lane when the Ninja mobile coffee cart turned up. Normally they are to be found at events and festival, so for now you can book them to come to your street. It was really good and the lads passing by, cycling the Pennine Way, thought so too as did a couple of dog walkers who all stopped off and bought a drink.
Got our togs on then and set off for Todmorden market for fresh provisions for the weekend and some for Mum. It was nice to see some of the old traders back. It meant we could buy our cleaning stuff and toiletries from the hardware man and there was a new stallholder who makes fresh pasta sauces and sponge puddings. We like to support as many market traders as we can. We are very lucky with our little markets. It's as well as we are not supermarket shoppers.
Spent the afternoon sat in our friend of 40 years garden. Socially distanced of course. We even took our own drinks and picnic. It was lovely, just like old times, and we even managed to forget about things for a while.
No tiger in my tank today but there are some on my charity shop frock. Enjoy the sunshine, rain is on it’s way later this week.

Sunday .....
We enjoyed a couple of hours with our niece for her birthday. We had all been given our time slots so that there was no more than two visitors at once. Good job the sun shone again and we could sit outside.

Kim is a head teacher at a primary school. A job I definitely wouldn’t want.
After dropping Mum’s shopping off we scuttled off back home as we both needed the loo by this time and as the rules about going into peoples houses was still a no no at this point we made a hasty retreat.
Monday now and the sun is out again today and the wandering welder is working on a little project for our garden gate display.

Your artwork is making me want to make something scrappy. Love your shoes btw.

I’m glad I’ve inspired you Jo.
DeleteI’ve got lots of pairs of jelly shoes in all different colours. They’re very comfy.
Take care. Thanks for popping by

I'm glad getting out and about cheered you up.
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy hangings are lovely, I bet they're really rather addictive to make, too.
A few of my food trading friends are doing similar, there's chance of making an income this year for festival traders and I wonder how many festivals will manage to stay afloat after the pandemic. Life is going to be very different.
Love both your dresses and glad you saw your mum & friend. We've got visitors today, first time we've seen them since before the madness.

Enjoy your day with your visitors, it makes such a difference doing something normal xxx
DeleteSounds like you have had a good few days! Love your scrappy hangings. I've got loads of scraps so if you don't mind I might have a go. Knowing me though, they won't turn out any where near as good as yours and will end up just scrap! haha
ReplyDeleteOh yes have a go but prepare to be addicted haha.
DeleteThere’s no right or wrong with them. Just set off and let the fabrics speak to you. Hope you show some pics x
ooohhh your lion dress is divine, and that sundae, I could just do with one of those right now! You are very lucky having all these goodies on your doorstep. I've been feeling a bit low, after weeks of activity I suddenly don't want to do anything, but feel I should do something!
ReplyDeleteWe are very lucky to live where we do, although there are some rough places not far from us.
DeleteFor what it’s worth if you’ve been busy for weeks then I think you deserve some time out for you. Sit, dream, read, stroll, do whatever you want or do nothing. Just be at peace xx
I'm often tearful for no apparent reason, but I'm learning to just let it happen. Things often look a bit better after a good cry. Doing favourite things and eating delicious ice-cream can do the trick as well! You're so lucky to live in such a wonderful community and to have Todmorden market to go to. We do have a local Saturday market, but it's not a very exciting one, and way too busy. I love that first frock very much, and Philip's shoes are amazing. I see you got out your lovely jelly sandals too! xxx
