Two Jumble Sales

 For the first time in a week the sun shone on Saturday and I popped 15 minutes away to a Jumble Sale. 

There was a long queue ready for door opening, as usual - but look - Blue Sky!

and it's a tiny village hall but very well used. The Jumble sale is a fundraiser for the hall.

It's a squash inside when everyone is in and requires much shuffling about. This year I only  found  one  thing to buy- a  Mason Cash pudding basin for £1 (no books sadly, last year I found a Kristin Hannah that I'd not read).. The bowl is a replacement for one that came back from BiL's after Christmas with a huge crack. He said it was OK when he washed it up!

It says 'God save the cream' with a crown! 

There was time to go home get lunch and then out again for the Scout Jumble Sale in Eye Town Hall. The queue to get in was even longer than the one at Thornham and the squash inside so big that after a while they were operating a one in one out system.

I found a book I'd not seen before  to add to my Suffolk book shelf for 50p  and spent £1on the tombola where  I won a bottle of Coffee Liqueur which sounds disgusting....I'll have to find someone to give it to!

It was nice to get out and about after several grey, wet days at home. Sadly the sun hasn't been seen again since and the forecast is just as dull. The jumble sales, exercise group and a quick dash out for a shop were the only trips out all week and I realised I'd not had any sort of proper conversation with anyone for 6 days!.

 The weather makes it difficult to get up the enthusiasm for anything..... except reading!.
