I woke at 5.16am to the most beautiful sunrise over the lake and the promise of a magical day. I started writing this looking out over the lake with the misty haze slowly turning from grey towards blue and I decided that it was going to be a shorts wearing day. I wore my new denim shorts that I bought on eBay a couple of days ago - remember them? along with a blue & white striped t shirt and my £2 adidas superstar trainers.
So it was off to the large carboot sale in the field near Milnthorpe, then on to the smaller carboot sale at the nearby farm. I bought a pair of Hotter plimsolls in a lovely spotty pattern - almost Cath Kidston for £2. I can't believe that my previous blog was about selling shoes as I have too many and here I am the next day buying more.
I bought quite a few items of toiletries and cosmetics such as this Eve Lom facial cleanser, Tom Ford perfume sample and Boots No.7 mascara for 50p. I also got a number of Avon Planet Spa items for 50p each too.
There was this cute little bucket with a tube of hand wash and hand cream for 50p along with this Roxy wallet for 50p. Another 50p item was the Rachel Khoo hardback cookbook.
I bought this boxed set of two Steven Fry series for £2 and these DVDs at 50p each. I got quite a few DVDs again as they ranged in price from 3 for a £1 to £1 for brand new sealed copies such as The Theory of Everything. I also got the boxed set of The Walking Dead (series 1 & 2) for £4. I have quite a stack of DVDs to watch now do they should keep me going for a few weeks along with some magazines that I bought at 10p each. I also got 4 magazines for £1 from another lady that are late 2014. They should have been £4.99 each which is expensive for a magazine in my opinion but at 25p each I can't grumble.
After the carboot sales we drove into Morecambe to visit the festival market. I stocked up at the food stall there which I have written about in a previous post. I'll let you know what I bought in another post later this week.
It was back to the cabin for a cooked brunch and then we sat out on the veranda chatting and looking at our purchases for a while.
In the afternoon we drove to Milnthorpe to visit one charity shop that was sadly shut when we got there but the one next door was open and had a half price clothing sale on. I bought this striped t shirt that fits beautifully and this Christmas jumper which is sadly too tight. I love that it is pink rather than the reds and greens that you usually find. I'll put it away as a little gift for my niece at Christmas. Both of these were £1.75 (half price from £3.50 each).
We face timed our mum and stepfather who live in France early evening because it is my stepfather's birthday today. He is 77 today and we are pleased that he has enjoyed his birthday with his two sons visiting him over from England.
We have an evening out tonight and it is a tie between visiting Trungs Cantonese restaurant in Bolton le Sands or The Eagle pub in Over Kellett. My sister is kindly driving so David and I are just sipping a glass of fizz before we get changed and head out.
I'll let you know how our evening went in tomorrow's post.
