Back home in Essex again now after having had the most fantastic time in Bristol with my family. Highlights included: surprising my nephew and meeting him from school one day - he was most astonished to see us all there to greet him; playing hide and seek with my nephew, Mum and sister on Mother's Day; a lovely afternoon tea at the Swallow Royal hotel, something we haven't done in years, to celebrate my sister's birthday; and just generally spending lots of time with my Mum. Oh, and there were a couple of good finds from a local charity shop too - always a bonus.
Of course, being back home again means plenty of mundane tasks like getting in the shopping, deciding what to have for an evening meal, washing up, and making the most of this wonderful warm and sunny weather by getting as much washing done as is humanly possible. I won't even think about how much dusting, hoovering and general cleaning needs to be done. It's full steam ahead with ebay listings again too. I won't bore you with the full details of last month's buying and selling but the three highlights were definitely the vintage Owzthat game which I found in the local junk shop and which sold for £14.26, twenty wooden cotton reels (also a junk shop find) that sold for £14.40, and the 50p vintage Mouli Grater (from the first boot sale of the season) that sold for £16.00.
The glorious weather is set to continue through the weekend so I'm hoping the car boot sale this Sunday will be really good - I'm looking forward to it already!
