We've had a lovely day out today 😊 We went to one of my favourite places, and then also stopped at a new to us NT place which was lovely. We were by the coast too which is always lovely.
I wandered into an art gallery in the town and was delighted to see a picture that I have coveted for years. We saw it in a gallery here which then shut down so we never bought it. I've tried looking for it now and again online, but no luck. I was considering paying the £149 for it, but then found a huge 'seconds' print of it for just £10. So I got that and a couple of other pictures too for £25. It has made my day! I just need to find a nice frame for them now.

Just catching up with you and also can’t believe you’ve had the car a year, that’s flown by! I’m also a lightweight with drinks these days, two is my limit and I have to drink lots of water at the same time or I’ll suffer the next day 🥴 What’s with these £1 lottery wins, we won £1 last week too. I thought the lowest win was £5?
I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪0 -
