Those dark clouds were following us...

I just checked to see how many miles we walked around the NEC...
No wonder I feel tired...

There were some nice cars.

One Wheel On My Trolley.....

It has come round really quick!
After winning free tickets for the BBC Good Food Show,
It was time to use them!
Out of bed at 7am.
Sandwiches made, Flask made up, cold drinks packed.
Caught 2 trains to get to the Birmingham NEC.
Free food, yum yum yum, and free goody bags.
Taking my shopping trolley down the stairs to catch the train home.
Then one wheel broke off!!!!!
(My son tried to reattach it, no luck on it staying on!)
Hubby and son then had to carry it everywhere!
I started to sing:
"One wheel on my trolley, and I'm just rolling along......"
