Market Friday in My Village

avatar

People in my village continue to sell things at the bottom of their gardens. Someone was selling these bug boxes so I decided to buy one. It was very well made and for £4 it was a bargain.

The same people also had bird boxes for sale at £5. Again very well made. It's spurred me on to try and make one myself.

My village pub has been closed down during the pandemic. They are now selling bread and pastry just outside every day. You leave the money in an honesty box. I came home with two cinnamon swirls and ate one on the way back. Everything is freshly made that morning. Gorgeous.

I really hope this initiative continues after this horrible virus has gone.

I love those little bug boxes! I made some for my kids for lightning bugs, so they could watch them fro a little while and then let them free before they went in for the night I did make birdhouses with them and my nieces and nephews at the summer house a few years ago. I had 12 kids and it was like going to school all over again. But, it is fun and they gather at my house every year. I now changed the location of the summer house, but, not the people.

It was a great project because it had so many steps, and even got painted. The year before I bought them each a duck to take care of. They come back to the pond every year.

Yikes. Duck farming.

This last year with COVID there has been a lot of sewing of masks going on and quilting... You are so right. Everyone has been doing such wonderfully inventive things. May those things stay the same! Thank you so much. I so appreciate seeing you and appreciate your words!

I'm going to build a bug box myself. I prefer to get the hammer and nails out rather than sewing lol. My brother bought me a drill for my birthday so I'm good to go!

Thank you.
