flying the flag(s)...

i am in love.

souvenirs...

from my recent German trip that included 2 flohmarkts...
other highlights included:-

• an eighteenth birthday party (all night! what's that all about?!)
• a family barbecue (not my real family but I adopted them anyway)
  
• non stop coffee
• spaghetti eis (3 teaspoonsful, how good am I?)
• sun and 31 degrees
• gatecrashing 1st class on the train...(read electronically reclining seats, businessmen, free drinks & nuts)
• needless to say the embroidery i took with me was untouched...

Oma's sewing kit, bargain at 1 euro...note the REVOLVING reels of thread, I almost wet myself.



1.5" tape measure spool - still works! AND is in cms = bonus, gotta love those Europeans.

rusty old...

...thing, purchased in Hexham. Just what i was looking for, although there were cries of derision and ridicule when I brought it home, after all it has seen better days but it will fit perfectly exactly because of this. The shop owner thought I would be repainting it at least, mmm...no.

in situ in shop £10.50

an aside... squeezed it into my fiat 500 in 2 pieces, could only get it out through the roof. Meccano rules.

a RE.ally good shop...

probably the best shop in the world...
Re,Corbridge, Northumberland.
