Yes, it was a lovely day on Sunday

It is wonderful having young friends!!!  I can't imagine why they go out with an old biddy like me, but I feel very special when I'm with Lina, Therese and Angela.  And talk about useful - I don't know what I'd do without all the help Lina gives me on the computer!!!  And after the fete, she and Therese showed me how to use one of those photo printing gadgets.  (I'd always printed my own photos at home, and was very nervous attempting to use one in a shop.  Now that I know how easy it is - and cheap - I'll be printing photos every day!)


This is what I bought at the fete, Winifred - a present for my sore hand which is now better.  I never wear rings, so maybe this is my second childhood!

I stopped buying Christmas presents years ago - except for the grandchildren and the odd friend who insists on giving me something - and used to give money to a charity to buy a goat for a village or something like that, but this year I don't even think I'll do that.  At the end of last year I was so overwhelmed by the mail and phone calls from charities that I got very annoyed and crossed them all off my direct debit list, and now just drop their begging letters in the bin. Once they get your name and address, they cling on like a terrier and I resent that.  Oh dear, I'm sounding like an old grouch, aren't I!
