I'M GETTING READY FOR THE DOLL FAIR AT BARTON, IT'S NOT LONG NOW AND RIVINGTON FAIR IS THE WEEKEND AFTER, PUDSEY IS AT THE END OF MARCH AND SOON THE CARBOOT SEASON WILL START, MY CAR BROKE DOWN YESTERDAY, THE CLUTCH STARTED SLIPPING WHEN I WAS GOING TO MY AUNTS IN SOUTH CUMBRIA, I MANAGED TO GET TO THE FARM AND SMELT THE BURNING. I PHONED MY BREAKDOWN SERVICE AT 12.30PM AND THEY SAID SOMEBODY WOULD BE THERE IN AN HOUR, 2 HOURS LATER I PHONED AGAIN AND THEY SAID 1/2 HOUR! WAITED TILL 4.45 AND THEN THEY SAID THEY HADNT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE LOCAL MAN OUT, THEY PHONED THE GARAGE IN PRESTON AND THE AGENT THERE CAME UP, I FINALLY GOT HOME JUST AFTER 8.30. THE AGENT FROM RIVERSIDE WAS VERY GOOD, JUST WISHED THEY'D PHONED HIM EARLIER. REEBOKIT'S REEBOK AGAIN ON SUNDAY, I HOPE I HAVE A BETTER DAY, I AM GOING TO TAKE MT BLYTHE DOLL, SHE IS LOVELY AND HASN'T BEEN PLAYED WITH, HER BOX HAS LOST IT'S CELLOPHANE AND SHE IS MISSING A SHOE BUT SHE STILL HAS THE CELLOPHANE BAND ROUND HER HAIR. SHE HAS NO DAMAGE JUST A BIT OF SHELF DIRT AND THE BOX ISN'T PERFECT. I WILL KEEP HER IN MY COLLECTION IF SHE DOESN'T O FOR THE AMOUNT I WANT AS I DO LIKE HER.
IT'S NOT LONG TILL BARTON NOW, WE HAVE SOME VERY GOOD STALLS AND I'M HOPING JANET CAN DO A STALL, SHE HAS SOME VERY NICE DOLLS. IT'S GOING TO BE A BUSY WEEKEND FOR ME, IT'S MOTHERS DAY ON THE 2ND AND I'VE NOT SEEN HER SINCE NOVEMBER, SHE HAS BEEN AT MY SISTERS IN PERTH, AUSTRAILIA AND ONLY COMES BACK ON THE 19TH. WILL BE GOOD TO SEE HER AGAIN, AT LEAST SHE DIDN'T GO FOR 6
MONTHS THIS TIME!

MY PEDIGREE COW LOOKS GOOD NOW IT'S RESTRUNG, I'M WAITING FOR A COUPLE OF THINGS FROM E-BAY BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO BUY MUCH, I NEED TO SELL SOME MORE. February 02 MISSING CAR BOOTS, ROLL ON SPRINGVERY FEW CAR BOOTS TO GO TO, CLITHEROE AND THE ANTIQUE FAIR AT BARTON VILLAGE HALL ARE THE BEST OPTIONS AT THE MOMENT, I GOT A NICE DOLLHOUSE BUNGALOW AT CLITHEROE LAST WEEK, IT HAS A GARDEN AREA AS WELL AND IS LABELLED "VICTORY TOYS, NELSON" DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE FIRM, I THINK THE HOUSE WOULD BE ABOUT THE 60'S, I WILL HAVE TO FIND FURNITURE FOR IT, WON'T TAKE MUCH TO FILL IT,
I FIXED THE PEDIGREE COW I WON ON E-BAY, NOT SURE I DID THE STRINGING RIGHT, IT IS A BIT DIFFERENT FROM THE DOLLS BUT HE STANDS IF YOU GET HIM IN THE RIGHT POSITION.
NOT MUCH SNOW ROUND HERE, I TOOK BOOTS TO WITTON PARK AT BLACKBURN TODAY, THERE WAS MORE SNOW THERE BUT NOT DEEP. MY FRIEND JUST E-MAILED FROM AMERICA AND IT'S VERY DEEP THERE, SCHOOLS CLOSED AND MORE SNOW EXPECTED! I MISS THE SNOW WE USED TO GET WHEN I WAS A CHILD, BRITAIN SEEMS TO GOING BACK TO THE TEMPS OF ROMAN TIMES WHEN THEY USED TO GROW GRAPES NEAR HADRIANS WALL. DONT KNOW WETHER I'D WANT IT LIKE IT WAS IN CHARLES 2ND TIMES WHEN THE THAMES USED TO FREEZE AND THEY'D SKATE ON THE RIVER!! COULD BE INTRESTING IF DIDN'T HAVE TO GET TO WORK!!
IT'L SOON BE THE SCARECROW FESTIVAL AT WRAY, LAST WEEK IN APRIL, ENDING BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY, I'M HOLIDAY THAT WEEK SO WILL GO UP DURING THE WEEK WHEN IT'S NOT AS BUSY. HPOEFULLY TH CARBOOTS WILL BE STARTING UP THEN AND I'LL BE ABLE TO GO TO YORK RACECOURSE AGAIN, THATS THE BEST CARBOOT I KNOW, IT'S A LONG WAY BUT WORTH IT!
GOING TO MISS CHINESE NEW YEAR THIS TIME, I HAVE A FAIR ON THE 10TH AT REEBOK AND THE MANCHESTER EVENTS ARE ON THAT DAY. |
