Off to Bidford we go...

The sun was there to greet us...

Parked on the field.

One of my kids said what not to say.

"It looks like you are not going to buy nothing off here, mum!"

Unlucky...

I bought a Nutcracker soldier shaped like a Russian Doll.

Someone was selling a vase with fake flowers with lights.

We guessed the price...

One son was spot on with £20.

The woman said She would lower it down to £18 if I wanted it.

"It was £63 from The Range!" She bellowed at me.

I looked down at the plug and said "No" and walked off."

Next it was the CD man....

Loads of 1950s and 1960s CDs.

The kids had their 80's CDs and war songs.

Moving on,

Welcome to my Hump of the Week 🐫

Warm hug with brew.

Breakfast.

Dressed.

I gives hubby a sloppy wet 💋 before he went to work.

I meanwhile left the house shortly after too.

I had a phone call, from the friend I have coffee with at Webbs, saying the Bromsgrove Highway is closed due to an accident.

I now have to figure another way to Webbs.

Picks up the newspaper & my neighbour's magazine on the way.

I gets off at a sliproad before I get stuck in the massive queue on the Highway.

I goes the old way I used to go to my old job.

Through the lovely countryside.

I finally get to Webbs and B3

I have a look in Hobbycraft...

My didn't cost mine on Saturday!

£2.99

Now to have coffee, chat and nibble!

Then it's a good look around the house plants!

Wonder if I could fit this in my garden???

I said goodbye to my friend.

Off home I went.

I thought the highway might be open by now.

Big Mistake,it wasn't.

On the way through the back roads of Bromsgrove to get home, I was stuck behind a tractor with a trailer doing 20 m.p.h.

Some managed to overtake it, by the time it was my turn, the lines were against me.

I gets to a slip road of the Bromsgrove Highway it was still closed.

So I had to follow the tractor once more.

A convoy was slowly building up behind me.

An ambulance that was 4 cars behind me, put their blue lights on, so I stopped and let it through.The Tractor refused to let the ambulance through until the ambulance put on it's music (Sirens)THEN it stopped and let the ambulance through!

I took another short cut and didn't follow the tractor no more \o/ 

Finally got home after half an hour!

My magazine and pom pom trims arrived.

Lunch.

Now to get out in the garden for a little bit of tidy up!

Swept the path, got some weeds up!

Tea at 3 was a bit late.
