Our wintery getaway in the countryside

Tall One and I are back from our winter weekend in the Midlands! We stayed at Solitude again after having had such a great time there in autumn. On Saturday, we ventured up the mountains into Swissland Cheese because we knew the goats were due to give birth..but we didn't expect to see a birth in front of our very eyes! We stared in amazement as we watched four baby goats take their first steps. They were too precious for words. After wishing the goatlings a great first day on Earth, we popped into Piggly Wiggly for pizza and a nose around Rosewood, my favourite shop there. Tall One wants to open a competitive outfit next door and call it Higgledy Piggledy which destroys me every time I think of it! The rest of our time was spent napping and lazing in front of the fire. I am so in love with this part of the world, I wish I could take a gabillion pictures and bound 'em into a book. It's my ultimate dream, I tells ya! Hope you all had equally relaxing weekends? x

The Car Boot Market!

Tall One and I recently flogged some old stuff at the Greyville Car Boot Market! This was not pretty, vintage stuff, my friends. This was RANDOM old cr@p. I'm talking toilet brushes, half bottles of moisturizer, burnt candles and my brother's old shark posters. Believe it or not, we pretty much sold it all! Over the years, my bro and I have been storing stuff at my parent's house and it was getting a bit ridiculous. There was so much old junk that we weren't using and it was time to just get rid of it all! We did donate loads of it to charity but we also decided to sell some for the experience. Ok, and also for a little extra loot! This market is CRAY CRAY. The first time we did it, we were SWARMED with crowds and it was actually a little frightening to be honest. Ours was by far the cheapest erm, boot! We decided to try and beat the crowds the second time and rocked up in the dark at 5am but again, people rushed up to our car with torches asking, "Have you got pots, pans, shoes????!!" Once we'd calmed those folks down, we unpacked our wares and got to selling and had a great day of sales. The whole experience is so hilarious, we may just do it again! So if you have any junk you wanna offload, call us! We will take it away and flog it. These are just a few snaps of some of the things I spotted there. x
