We are watching our Discovery Channel DVD on Cleopatra - the last in the Egyptian series, bought after our holiday to help us to understand the history of Egypt.
In Phylae a bull was worshipped & mummified after death - only one at a time - then buried in a tomb on the west bank of the Nile. (burials took place in the West, hence the saying "Gone West")
Anyway, today, we were at Coleshill Town Hall by 8.30am. Unfortunately the doors were not opened until 9.00am, so we may as well have had breakfast,or at least a cup of tea before we left home.
We set up our stall, did some networking (a lot of locals with whom we had contacts or who knew us!), & a fair bit of selling, until shortly after mid-day. We made £50 profit, spent £2 on bargains & came home for brunch.
It takes a lot to make £50 at these events - we did well.
We have a lot more money to raise - any ideas (or donations!)?
We have since done a couple of hours in the field, clearing leaves & brambles & litter picked the village.
We lit a fire in the lounge - a necessity most evenings this winter - had naps & then ate olives, pasta & chocolate with a few glasses of wine. The diet starts tomorrow!
The Telegraph has a supplement on holidaying in Denmark.
There is a competition at visitdenmark.com/uk to win a family holiday in Denmark.
All family members must go on this site & enter - no one else to enter, that will diminish the odds.
Even G has entered!
A lie in tomorrow as I have NW matins at 11.00am.
G to P&A to finish the shower.
MK & I had a great idea for an addition to standard satnav - directions ti the nearest M&S.
Any takers?

Maybe you'd make more as jobbing gardeners !
Ours will find the nearest McDonalds, but I guess that isn't much help.
We'll put an add in next months "Tidings".
"Noble Gardeners available - aristocratic rates"
Quite right, McDonalds would be of little use.
Do they sell superb suppers, fabulous fruit & veg, beautiful bread, chewy cookies......
I think not!

and clothes.
