I know someone in blogland likes this Hornsea pottery, can't remember who. There was another stall with several pieces too and a stall full of Portmeirion - which I thought had gone out of fashion as I'd found two bits at car -boot sales but the lady said some people are still collecting.
On Sunday DiL had booked a table at a local pub to celebrate Son's birthday. YD and EGD came over from the coast. Lovely to get the Suffolk parts of the family together for a few hours.
I've not been to Sainsburys for ages as it's the wrong side of Ipswich but as I was in town for the dentist ( just a check up - thankfully) on Monday I went a mile further for some of their cheap 'cooking bacon'...the name amuses me as surely all bacon has to be cooked but their packs of offcuts and strange shapes are £1 for a 500g a pack. I split these up into 8 smaller amounts before freezing.
After the wet Saturday and dull Sunday there was some good sunny weather during the week and I got some more garden bits cut back and half filled the garden waste bin - Yet Again but there's still a ton of Buddleia to tackle. Couldn't get the grass cut with my battery mower - too much moisture, if it stays like this I shall have to call up BiL with his motor mower as the blinkin' grass is still growing.
I moved the craft shelf unit in my bedroom to make a space for a table and got a hand to move it in from the garage to the corner so now I've got somewhere to put and wrap Christmas gifts out of the way. A smaller desk would have been nice but would have meant spending money - which is what I don't want to do as I've spent enough on the living room recently.
My reading this week is the latest Whitstable Pearl crime novel 'Murder at the Allotment' by Julie Wassmer. I may be wrong but these seem to have got more 'cosy' since they were turned into a TV series. On TV I've been watching a little of very odd US series on the free Pluto TV channel called Scorpion which is about a group of eccentric geniuses who take on solving complex problems for the government. It ran from 2014 - 2018.
It's the last Saturday car-boot at Needham today - except for a special Christmas one in December - weather permitting - so I'd better nip down there and give it a look.
Have a lovely weekend whatever you are doing and I'll be back Monday.

I think you could adjust the title of this to ask where has the year gone! I quite like Hornsea and have quite a few pieces. Sadly the rubber seals have all perished over time
ReplyDeleteI love Hornsea, but drastically downsized on retirement, and my collection is 99% Cornrose pattern now. There is NO Cornrose on that Display! I have purchased replacement rubber seals online for my storage jars.
ReplyDeleteI think Morrisons cooking bacon is good value -but not always available
The year has gone really quickly for me too. Keep warm and well, my friend 👍❤️
