Happy May Day everyone !

What a busy day I had yesterday - didn't even get time to blog !! Shameful. I had so much running around to do - shopping included. I also gave a painting demonstration to the ladies of the British legion last night (I'll tell you about that later). It took a while to prepare for the demo yesterday afternnoon. I got back home at 9.30pm. Exhausted. A really busy day and evening.
I really don't like supermarket shopping. I normally order my basic groceries online at Tesco, and they deliver. But there are some things I get from our local shops. Our little shopping centre here in the village is one of my favourite haunts. We have a wonderful DIY/hardware shop where I can get all my basic gardening goodies - soils, seeds, etc. It's a treasure trove, and I can spend hours rummaging among all the gardening stuff. We have a greengrocer whose veg and fruit are great - always fresh and tasty. Our butcher is fantastic - good meat, and good for a laugh. The butchers are always joking and mucking about - makes shopping a pleasure ! We have a pharmacy - friendly and helpful, and we also have a charity shop (I'm quite well known there LOL). And it's only 2 minutes from my door !!
I am off to Wantage town as soon as finish this. I am fetching my granddaughter from nursery school at 12, and we are staying in town as the Morris Men are dancing in the market square at 12.30. I really enjoy watching the Morris dancing. I'll be taking my cameral along and hopefully I'll have some photos to show you later on.
Back later when I have more time.
