Car boot season is upon us..... :-)

Had such a nice day with Lola on Saturday..Andrew was off in Wales doing his Mountain Leader's first aid course, I took Lola off on the bike..beautiful sunny morning. We went to a car boot sale at a local school..where all I bought her was a little doctors set. We then went to a new deli/cafe that has just opened and sat outside in the sunshine drinking coffee and milk and easting croissants. Lovely!
Doctors kit is a massive hit...
she keeps saying 'Can I check your tummy Mummy..Ohh I can here the baby!'

Kat came up Saturday evening..made pizzas and vegged out...then went to a car boot on Sunday morning..the posh one, first of the season..It was fantastic!!

Got Lola a little wooden deckchair...

A West German pottery vase, and another really nice heavy glass vase...

Some nice toys and books for Lola...

and 3 crochet blankets for her dolls/bed.....so good.
I love this time of year when the car boots start up x
