The flying sort that is. When it gets really hot up in the attic (which is a usable space and storage area for me) bats manage to squeeze out from under the roof tiles where they have a brood roost each summer, getting too hot for comfort, and so far this week we have had two baby bats (who didn't make it, though I put them outside - too small to fly) and last night an adult. That's been rattling round a couple of nights as Jon said he could hear the girls hurtling up and down the hall all night on Friday, in hot pursuit of it. I saw it last night but it got off the carpet and flew up by the bookcases, then behind a pipe and the girls lost interest. It's not there this morning and can't find a corpse. It will doubtless turn up again tonight. UPDATE: I found it, in the sink - when I poured out the washing up water it began swimming round, so I rescued it and put it outside under some dark bushes. I mean - I should have thought SINK!! straight away really . . .
The Fair was busy yesterday, and an old dealer friend has the stall opposite me now. He has small pieces of lovely antique furniture and had a really good day (no-one else selling furniture). His little coffer bach was soon snapped up by some old customers of mine from the days when Keith and I did the Botanic Gardens every month. They came over for a natter and it was lovely to see them again.
On paper, financially doing this Fair is pretty well a waste of time. I make only a little over what it costs me to do it (£30 or £40) but from a social point of view I am amongst our friends. People who remember Keith fondly ("he was so cheeky") and we chat about what's on our stalls and I am away from my four walls which, lovely though they are, need escaping from sometimes.
Anyway, this won't do. I am Rosie sitting and later on have to unload the car. Have a good Sunday.
Hope you enjoyed the walk around the Fair.
Lovely! Thanks for the tour of the market, some lovely things. I am watching the other tour, Le Tour de France, as it is cold and drizzly and I am getting over an annoying head cold caught off my 18 month old granddaughter, should be better by Tuesday when I will mind her again. 😂 JennyP
