Turnip teddy

We went into town this morning (that suggests a lot more than is actually there), and a trip to Oxfam drew some good results for the boys. A strawberry and a turnip cuddly toy and some lovely books. I thought it was an onion, the youngest is adamant it is a turnip and I think he is right. Eldest is equally besotted with 'Mra Strawberry', not bad for £3 for both! 

A slow day, I haven't been feeling well and the boys have colds. But we have planted a few things, cleaned, made a cake and played with some new (to us) playmobile.

Today I'm grateful for:
The boys playing with their new toys and spending hours making up games 
The husband who tends to know what is right for me (he barely reads this, so he won't know I actually do listen to him)
Me turning a way a door to door promo chap, reasonably kindly and the youngest coming to the door and saying 'please go away, we don't want you', it was priceless!
