A week of days

Mornin all! Here we are, Sunday morning and a chat with a neighbour as the gate is opened and the sun starts yo rise. It's another busy day after a busy week.

I left off last time after a lovely peaceful day. This was followed by quite a different day of casual and sometimes a bit naughty eating with my Daughter....

In between doing a lot of sorting of her stash/hoard of patchwork fabrics. Some from when we had the shop and some going back further, plus other craft stuff. It has all been stored in our garden shed, but she is going on a big OE, so is keenly selling most of it on line. So it was a lovely companionable, and productive day.

Sunday, I went to my church for a lovely service and friendly catch up, followed by a visit from a friend in need.

Then to finish the day, I delved into the delicious lovelies from Jessie Chorley and started a small stitching project, while watching some Countryfile I had recorded. Gentle work with gentle viewing, super luvly juvly!

Monday brought the tractor travelers home. Here is halfway, at hubby's brothers place, and I met them here with some lunch. A jolly time was had around the table outside, recounting their adventures, then I shot out of the gate ahead of them and headed home to await hubby's arrival in time for dinner. 

Tuesday dawned fine so we headed for our favourite swimming beach, taking Emmylou for a drive. It's the whole package kind of day.

From the country drive, to the sparkling sea....

Around the picturesque coast on narrow winding roads....

Parking right by the sea as the tide comes in.....

That first touch of the cool waters. It was a delicious swim, followed by fish n chips, a relaxing read as we warmed up un the sun.....

Stopping at another bay on the way back, to indulge in the ice creams I had on board....

Calling in on friends on our way home so Emmylou could say hello to this chap who had been playing with Thomas the Tank Engine over the road at the vintage railway.

They had a lot to chat about. So much history there..

Now what is this!!??

We had a call from a chap looking for a home for his old vintage rotary hoe, as he was moving and down sizing. So off we went, driving up into the hills. It rained, we got very wet, we loaded it on to our poor old battered trailer. Hooked it up to our poor old classic Triumph car and brought it home. The car and trailer are well used to these adventures and we laughed all the way, recalling the loads they had brought home, from cars picked up from the side of the road, to tonnes of bricks, truck engines, and more, and they love it.

Yes, we personalise our vehicles. The car has been a faithful friend for 35yrs, half of hubby's life now. Wow! We all needed to dry out after that run.

Friday, I managed to have some time out again, as Hubby was away all day helping set up for another vintage weekend. Yesterday, too, and soon I will go over to join in.

But before I do, I might steel an hour in my creative corner where I have been playing with serviettes in my art journaling...

And loving the effects. Especially over the music sheets. What fun! Many blessings to you all
