Day out and stocking up


Well once again the weekend has flown by and we seem to cram so much into it. Saturday as usual we did the weekly shop, we were up and about at 7.30 so hit the shops at about 8.00 am and it was nice and quite. Got home and put everything away, had a little tidy up and then we had a trip out in the afternoon to a Farm Shop near Marbury Park, near Northwich, we had seen it on our travels and hubby had decided he wanted a gooseberry pie (guess what they are not in season yet I say)he wouldn't listen but we had a good mooch around and he had tea and scone.

Sunday we were up early again and decided that we would go to Abakhan Mill out near Flint in Wales, its a fantastic place to go if you are into any kind of craft and I had some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket, on the way to the Mill there is an outdoor market called Greenfield so we stopped in there had a wander round got some really fresh veg and I spotted a stall that sold odds and ends and he was also selling packets of really nice fuzzy wool bought three packets Blue, Lilac and White. Then on to the Mill where we had breakfast and he told me to scarper and have a mooch. I can tell you I didn't need telling twice. Bought some more wool, as you can see from the picture I have quite a bit to add to my stash, I have all sorts of ideas buzzing around in my head. The day didn't end there though we carried on to Swallow Falls, had a cup of tea then on to Llandudno, where I found to other shops that sold wool and stuff (will have to remember them on the next trip. We went up to the ski slope on the Great Orm had another cup of tea then rounded off the trip pay taking the costs road around it and came ouot at Conway just by the castle what a great end to the day. We did a lot of miles and I wasn't expecting to cram so much in but the weather was good to us and a great day was had by both of us.

Well will have to go now to make tea but here is a picture of what I have bought.
