โค๏ธ Itโs turned into another warm day but wasnโt one for lolling around Iโm afraid, so Iโm feeling it now! Steveโs on his hols but it was a working morning for me as I had to sort a huge pile of goods then pack boxes ready for Coniston tomorrow.
When Iโd finished we decided to go out and get some wild raspberries before they go over. Alas, weโd left it too long and they had rotted with all the wet weather weโve had recently. Oh well, thatโs that until next year. I have got ample stocks in the freezer to make jam with though, so all is not lost.
Never one to waste a car journey, we called in at the charity shop and it must just have been the right time; I found lots of lovely things! Although I dearly love my job and wouldnโt want another, it is a constant one โฆ not just two days a week or nine to five. If Iโm not washing, cleaning, painting, mending, pricing and packing my stock, Iโm working to sell it. If Iโm not doing any of those things then Iโm on the hunt sourcing new stock and that happens most days. Up at the crack of dawn to get to the car boot sales and flea markets before the hordes arrive, visiting places that have a good selection of charity shops and salvage yards. How I wish there were still jumble sales though, I loved a good rummage!
On the way back we called at an allotment and bought eggs and runner beans. Home now and Dottyโs looking very welcoming and cool, as I left the windows and doors open before going out (otherwise it would have been like Gas Mk 8 in there). Tea and cake beckon, and a big pile of pretty magazines โฆ I may be some time. Teaโs going to be a simple one today, quiche, new potatoes from the garden and a Greek salad made with tomatoes, cucumber and spring onions also from the garden.
Isnโt summer just lovely? I hope youโre enjoying yours โฆ have a lovely rest of today (doing something you love ๐ฅฐ) xxx
