Current Weather at Strickley

Monday 20 April 2015

The sun keeps on shining . .

. .  and the grass is growing. And farmers are busy working hard to make the most of the weather.

And living the high life.

And on Saturday, despite it being sunny and warm the farmers had a day off.
So, we went  into town (a rare occurrence). Kendal was buzzing with people sat outside cafes and buskers on the corners. 
We both collected our new glasses (Henry looks a bit cool in his tinted ones) and I managed to spend a bit off money.
It was Record Store Day so we popped into Replay in the shopping centre and I bought two "pre-owned" records (your actual vinyl) - Simon and Garfunkel, and Steeleye Span.
Then we happened to go into Todds lovely smart and tempting shop and somehow I bought a new Barbour handbag - Barbourish but with flowers on!
Via the market for some shrimps and lunch at Farrers Coffee Shop.
Then back home  and Henry checked his mole traps and I potted  shrimps and prepared the meat for supper (Beef Wellington - I said we were living the high life!)
Remember - you can't have too many bags or potted shrimps!

But out of the mouths of babes (well, eleven year olds) - 
"Grandma, why do need more than one handbag?"

Answers on a postcard please
