Spring is the season for car boot sales and we all got lucky when we ventured out early to a local one this morning. Pearl came away with a talking Iggle Piggle (which already needs a wash after being flung in a puddle), Flora chose some usual lumps of plastic tat and a whoopee cushion, Steve got some records and I claimed booty victory with a real wool crocheted granny blanket for only three pounds! Quite what would posses anybody to sell such finery is a mystery!
Back home I 'potted on' some courgette plants and then, while Pearl took a nap, Flora and I entertained ourselves by making pets from Hama beads. The afternoon was spent sunning ourselves in the garden and indulging in our second barbecue of the month, washing down marinated chicken and Mediterranean veg kebabs with Somerset cider. It's been so warm and I'm hopeful we may be able to enjoy another al fresco scrabble-athon this evening, may as well make the most of the nice weather while it lasts. Flora will
be back to school in the morning, after the Easter holiday and her brand new summer uniform dress is hanging over the back of her chair, ironed and ready for the new Summer term ahead.
