Mysterious happenings

Evening everyone,
Hope you're all well and have had a good Sunday. I was up with the larks (6.10 am to be precise) due to a very wide awake grandchild that had had a sleepover.  Oh to be 9 and full of energy again!
I thought that we had had a frost overnight but as I sat there with my morning cup of tea it started to snow. The weather in this country doesn't seem to know what to do at the moment. One minute its lovely and sunny and you think that summer is on the way, the next its snowing, hailing, raining cats and dogs and horrendously windy. No matter what outfit you put on you're always caught out. This happened to me today. I decided to take my granddaughter out for lunch with my mum and nephew. It was snowing and cold when I left the house so was dressed for such. I had boots, sweater, scarf and thick coat. By the time we had left the restaurant the sun had come out with a vengeance and myself and my granddaughter were roasted alive on the car journey home.
I read today on Sues blog ( our new life in the country ) that they have been having a terrible time where they live in Wales with the rain and rising water. Sue lives just a few miles from where my caravan. Indeed the lovely cafe at Llanwrst look as though it may be flooded due to the river breaking its banks.
I feel really sorry for anyone who lives near to rivers or fields that can be come flooded, I don't think I could live with the constant threat of your home and all your possessions being ruined. So sad.
After we got back from lunch today I went with my mum to the church as they were having a fundraiser for a homeless foundation. I know the couple who run the charity and go most Tuesday lunchtimes to have a spot of lunch and a coffee. The money that they raise from the lunch goes to help the homeless. There was a tombola stall there today that was just sweets and chocolates. I gave my granddaughter £1, mum gave her £1 and then an elderly lady we know also gave her £1.

The tickets on the tombola were 3 for £1. This is what she won, so lucky. Obviously i sent it all home with her as I didn't want the sugar rush after effects here, especially after my 6 am start. Her mum said that they would be shared with her friends and handed out selectively haha.
Tonight I had a walk to our local coop. I haven't been doing this due to getting in the house at odd times and just being too busy. I do like popping in about half 6 as this is the time that they usually do the reductions. There are lots of things i could buy but don't. I cook everything from scratch ( apart from a jar of curry sauce now and again if i'm in a hurry) so any ready meals etc we just wouldn't use. Tonight i was lucky and managed to get a pkt of strawberries and a pkt of blueberries for 40p each. They should of been £2 each.

I've washed and just used a few tonight with some pineapple that i already had in the fridge. They were very nice.

Until tomorrow,
