Well my hair was cut yesterday by my daughter's friend for just £14 instead of the £26 charged in the village. After all the lovely comments on my blog regarding hair colour I decided to go for purple...she had run out! I felt cheated! Nonetheless, I am pleased with the cut and it will certainly last 6 weeks until my next appointment. I had a lovely cup pf tea and a chat afterwards with DD and the GC before setting off home to see what G had been up to on the allotment.
He had pulled some carrots for tea. We have not been successful with carrots at all and G puts it down to not having enough time to prepare the soil properly. If you look to the left (on G's hand) you can see a tiny carrot, which is the size I like. I bet the big ones are totally inedible :/
We have been unsuccessful with radishes too. The first few were lovely but the subsequent ones were tough or eaten away . However, we have eaten some lovely lettuces and potatoes and the tubs in the garden have produced lots of delicious strawberries.
In our mission to sell or donate stuff we don't need I went to offer a ceramic pot of Calla lilies to our neighbour, as he had admired them, and shut my blooming finger in the metal gate catch. Cor, it came sharp....
A big welcome to Terra, my new follower. Welcome aboard!
The craft fair on Saturday was dismal. It rained and footfall was poor. I took £5 which was the cost of the table :( No one took more than about £20 so I have decided that I will do no more. I can sell more on the internet than at the fair and can do it from home too, so that's my decision made. I made a sale of £12 last night whilst watching TV with my feet up!
It's raining at the moment and thunderstorms are forecast for this afternoon so I will pop out to post my sale item before lunch....
Stay safe everyone and thanks so much for popping in x
Hi Angie,
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks lovely, I have a very similar cut myself, but I am growing a bit longer at the moment. Hope the carrots are ok.
Have you looked into selling cards on Etsy? perhaps you could bundle them up?
Marlene xx
Thank you Marlene, I find I can handle short hair much better. I hadn't thought about selling on Etsy, that's certainly worth looking into :) Bundles sound good.... xx
DeleteHello there,
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks lovely!
I've been reading your blog for ages - I hope you don't mind me saying but you're looking very slim in your photo!
I've heard on the news today that due to too much rain in the UK and a heatwave in Europe, veg is going to be in short supply! Apparently caulis have been hit hard in the UK so far. I read that Lidl's lettuce have gone up from 42p to something like £1.19. We grow a fair bit ourselves - but mainly carrots/lettuce/toms/spring onions/peppers/potatoes. I think maybe a few brassicas might be a good idea!!
Oooh gosh Mrs LH, the camera does lie! I could certainly do with losing a few pounds...lol...Thank you for reading my blog, I appreciate each and every one who takes the time to read my witterings :) Thanks for the tip re veg shortages, I hadn't heard about it yet. We have started more lettuces off as well as spinach and our sprouts are coming along nicely. There could be a total absence of caulis though...
DeleteYour hair looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteWOW those carrots are monsters. I bet they would be fine in a soup or a stew.
What a shame about the craft fair but better for you if you can sell from home....no hassle with setting up or anything.
Hugs-x-
Thank you for the compliment Sheila :) Hmm...I'm thinking stew with carrots is the way to go too xx
DeleteI agree the carrots will be fine chopped small and made into a soup or added to a casserole. Your hair looks great and brilliant value for money.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much GIA :) x
DeleteYour hair looks good, i do like a short style, but I have mine in a short bob for now.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much easier isn't it x
DeleteWhat a lovely haircut... I like your natural colour and would be tempted to add a couple of tiny streaks of a rainbow of different colours that I could just wash out.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would be brave enough Cherie, but thank you for the compliment x
DeleteHair looks good. Have you ordered the colour?
ReplyDeleteShe should have some next time Jill :)
DeleteI sell my soaps and knits online, too. I love it. I just got an order for six goat's milk soaps today. Sorry that the craft fair wasn't worth it. I hope you get more orders at home. That finger looks very sore, ouch! Those carrots look tasty.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Stephenie, isn't it satisfying when someone buys your makes :) I've never tried goat's milk soap.
