March is almost over, and tomorrow we celebrate Easter. The weather was mostly rainy this week, and the river Windrush is quite high up today, when we passed by. There is even a little bit of flooding in the flood fields, not surprising with all that rain.
Last Sunday we stopped by in the local toy and bike shop Denton's, where Eddie spotted this big giraffe. Erm, thanks, but no, it might look cute, but we don't live in a palace.
Running to school on Monday, I snapped this doggy in the window across the road. We see it almost every day in that window, waiting patiently for someone to take it out for a walk. The poor thing was shaved recently, and looks even sadder than usual.
The tree in the Market Square is decorated with red fabric poppies.
The Moon on Wednesday was visible, when the sun was still shining.
Thursday was the market day in town. I was running through, in a hurry to meet a friend for a cup of coffee, so had no time to stop properly. The bread and pastries' stall looked very appetising.
On Friday I took Eddie on a long walk across the town, to the Royal Mail depot, as I missed the parcel the day before. By Sod's law they always deliver when I am on the school run, and they never-ever bother with leaving a package with the neighbours.
The depot was closed, so my package is still there, and these were supposed to be gifts for Easter, argghhh. Now they will be completely useless after the weekend.
It was a rainy day. The Japanese quince by one of the old hotels in town is in full bloom.
Today Eddie and I went grocery shopping. We have guests coming over for Easter lunch, and I needed quite a few bits and bobs for tomorrow's big menu.
We did pop into Gregg's as a treat for Eddie, who helped me to carry some of the shopping, and also visited Poundland, where we got a couple of Horrid Henry books which Eddie hasn't read yet.
While I was checking Notes on my iphone whether I got everything on my list, Eddie was sitting among the loo rolls, grinning. What are you doing there, Eddie? - I'm chillaxing, he said.
Wishing you all a happy Easter!
What a pain about the sorting office, always the way isn't it. Love that shot with the moon and my son would love that giraffe, they are his favourite animals. Have a lovely Easter Galina x #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! Happy Easter to you and Monkey too!
Deletehahaha! I think my girl would love that giraffe too.
ReplyDeleteAhh! We have a similar stall full of breas and pastries at our local market each week and I am always tempted to buy everything.
Thank you, Kim! I'm sure if you knew how much that giraffe costs, you wouldn't want it. :) Eddie wisely said that he could buy a very big Lego set for the same money. As if I planned to buy the giraffe, ha ha
DeleteWas the depot mot open today?
ReplyDeleteThat is a big giraffe, but yes like you I would not have room for it either.
Wow a supermarket selling kids....he even has a price label...lol
Thank you, Elaine! The depot is open on Saturdays only until 11.30am, and I had no chance to visit it.
DeleteHaha excellent place to chillax!! How very crappy about the post service. I always feel very lucky that my postie agrees to leaving mine places or indeed spotting me on his sounds and giving me my mail when I am out in town!have a lovely Easter lunch.#365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Fee! Our posties do not care much about the inconvenience, sadly. Hope you had a lovely Easter too.
DeleteI'm particularly liking the look of those hot cross buns. They remind me of the bakers that we used to go to as a child (now closed). I have made homemade buns a few times and they do taste good, but I'd prefer to eat without the work. Poor doggy in the window - he does look a bit sad.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erica! I rarely bake my own buns, and don't think I've ever made hot cross buns.
DeleteI wish i could chill doing the food shop, what was the idea behind the poppies on the tree? the pastry and cake stall at the market looks fab
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suzanne! I have to tag him along shopping, my poor chap, but he knows he will have a treat: a magazine or a sausage roll at Greggs.
DeleteI had to laugh at Eddie chillaxing with the toilet rolls. The toy giraffe is very cute. How frustrating about your parcel!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah, I only managed to get the parcel today, such a pain.
DeleteHappy Easter! I feel your pain with the sorting office! Our post is always delivered in the afternoon and most of the time we aren't at home! I have to cart both kids to ours if I go as its a 20 minute drive away! A pain seeing as our postman lives 2 doors away! xx
ReplyDeleteEddie certainly looks very chilled out sitting there. Those pastries look good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emma! Eddie will always find a place to relax, wherever we go.
DeleteOMG that giraffe toy is huge! Love the range of styles and photos you included this week. #project365
