... from a lovely walk with the girls.
We took a completely different route today and actually went into the estate. Not very exciting, you may think, but it was the first time I've been round there in years and it was interesting to see how everything is maturing. Some of the gardens are gorgeous - sorry Charles but I may have plans for ours now!
It felt a bit fresher after the morning's rain, really pleasant in the sun.
Well, I've got everything done for tomorrow. Just waiting for Helen to get here cos we're working the stall together. Hopefully, if we can get tidied up quickly, we'll go into town with Charles and James. They'll go to the match while Helen and I do a bit of retail therapy. Can't wait!

Because of my childhood and the way I was brought up,I have vivid memories of church fetes with their cake stalls set up on old wooden trestles covered with vinyl tablecloths while the local turncollar sipped tea from a china cup and made small talk with passing families he wasn't familiar with (in an attempt to boost the congregation) while exchanging pleasantries with members of his die-hard flock shivering behind the stalls. Mind you things have probably changed in the last 45-50 years ☺ Still...its an image that is yet etched into my failing memory banks... Although now I have a new picture emerging of CaGG injecting some style and class into the quaintness of the occasion. What I'm trying to say is, whenever you hear of some event or other, I always have some mental image conjured up which is based on perhaps the last time I was at a similar event or in that particular place or a place like it. Sigmund Freud claimed to have dreamed purely in aural-images of dialogues, so I'd better not dream of the vicar and his congregation tonight....but I'm finding it hard to shake as I write. Church was Hell for me as a child.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm wandering again. I do hope things go really well for you both. I'm very sure they will...but do you have a garishly coloured vinyl tablecloth to complement the CaGG goodies is the question?
I think you already know Sue too well Dannymatt to even think such a thing! Bright red and eyecatching with a 72 picture slideshow of some of the other creations popping out on the strategically placed MacBook is what was produced. 4, yes 4 tables of yumminess and delight!
