well what a blustery morning. that sun is trying to come out. i'm looking out of my little window opposite my little desk and i can just see the tips of the rays. the sun is failing though, the rain is still drizzling down and the wind is still blowing round and round my home. blowing round and round yet failing to blow away those grey clouds.
it's been like this most of the weekend in london, however the sun did shine yesterday morning. saturday was horrendous, we spent a whole day in our little home. boiled eggs and soldiers for breakfast. home made soup for lunch and takeaway for dinner along with scrabble (love it!). during the day we did get a little stir crazy and adorned our waterproofs and ventured into the garden to clear away the majority of leaves - amazing how invigorating it is being in the outdoors in such weather. and it's another excuse to put the kettle on when back in the warm :) faces pink from the wind and fresh air. that was our outing for saturday.
sunday included a trip to john lewis to buy some dk yarn to make this winters crochet blanket. i also managed to tick quite a few christmas presents off the list too. result :)
i'm babbling away here as i should be blogging about what i promised, my trip to the country living christmas fair that i went to on friday. i'm afraid i failed. on the photo front. miserably. i managed one photo the whole day which was a pretty lame attempt at the entrance, so i won't even bother loading it on here. the fair was sooooooooooooo unbelievably busy!!!! busier than any fair i have ever visited, even the ideal home back in the nineties when it was hugely popular! i'll share something with you my friends, i dont fare well in crowds. i dont enjoy them really unless i'm totally geared up for them like one would be for a concert. i'm afraid on friday i was caught unaware, i wasn't prepared for the crowds and therefore had a few panicky moments and also failed to get the camera out anymore. did anyone else visit??? did you find it so busy??? goodness knows what is was like on saturday!!! i cannot believe i was only in the exhibition for an hour, i flicked around visiting the stalls i fancied, but truthfully you couldn't have got me out of there quick enough. i could see through the ladies and gentleman (mostly ladies) that the goods on peoples stalls were truly beautiful and i apologise all stall holders for not gritting my teeth and fighting through for a closer look.
i do hope anyone else that visited wasn't as lame as myself and had a wonderful time - if you have any stories about the fair i would love to hear!!
on falling out of the fairs front doors we found the trusty pizza express and had a wonderful lunch along with a much needed glass of red wine. then we braved the ghastly weather and hoped on the tube home, to relax, in an uncrowded place. bliss.
what a let down i have been to you all... and my blog...
well today i was hoping for some sunlight to take some wonderful photos of my new wonderful stock that i am dying to put onto my website. that doesn't look like it is going to happen. humph. this afternoon i am off to a village about an hours drive away to meet a man who promises more fabric goodies, i do home the rain eases off!!!!
moan.. moan.. moan..
i shall be back, letting you know of my success (or lack of)..
but i may be in a happier mood.. ;-)
