We're back into work with Term two, but there is always time for a friend's visit, particularly a friend who makes Banana Cake! Today we went to our local Farmer's Market, stocked up on Olive Oil, pastries for lunch and some lovely locally grown pumpkins. The Olive Oil man gave us some delicious treats to go with our oil - green olives stuffed with feta, some semi-dried tomatoes and two cakes of olive oil soap. Then we drove out to Pomonal (the weather today has been glorious) and visited the market there. My sister was very surprised to see us. She spins fleece from her own English Leicester sheep, dyes some and knits the most beautiful lacy shawls. I espied a ball of beautiful lilac yarn of Alpaca fleece and silk. The gorgeous Ell gave it to me. It is so soft and light. The market was busy and there was lots to see. We went to the local shop/post office for some coffee and carrot and walnut cake, then drove home.
I found some plastic goodies in a bag at work which included a tiara and a pair of 'Edna Everage' glasses. Much fun was had trying them on, taking photos and giggling. There's nothing better than a good giggle.
