This fish van has never stopped coming to the village every Wednesday & here it was again this morning as usual...quite busy too!
I did my walk this morning before the rain arrived, a chilly walk it was too!
Looking the opposite way than yesterday’s photo, yesterday I was standing facing this way just about where that car is coming out behind the bus shelter.
Three good things:
1. Hoods on coats...I needed mine this morning to keep my ears warm.
2. On my walk back I met three friends from church...my cinema pal & two others. We all stood our distance & chatted for a good twenty minutes,
3. That a few years ago I decided no more hair colour on my head....we laughed so much this morning when my two friends took their hats off....one with long straggly hair & the other with a home cut & grey parting! Mine is just long!
Your village sounds so vibrant in 'normal' times. Living on the coast I do wish we had a fishmonger, static or mobile but no :(
Your comparing of hair made me smile, I dyed mine on Saturday, it's currently purple!
Such a tidy looking village Pat , nice to meet friends , even at a distance , It is certainly much colder - central heating back om again ,Had a laugh at your no 3 .. so glad I do not bother to dye my hair - au natural here !!
Great to have a fish van. Our guy starts back on Saturday.
Laughing about the hair.
I'm quite happy with my natural colour these days, but did trim the front at the weekend and Allan evened off the back with our new clippers......but refuses to let me do his!!!🤣🤣🤣
@sarah19 ha ha that’s men for you Sallie...I have offered to cut Harry’s but only half heartedly as I’m hopping he’s going to grow it long...he loves going to Gents night at our local hairdressers who happens to be his niece so it’s a social night that he doesn’t want to give up!
@beryl We were laughing so much that people driving past were smiling! Yes nothing like au natural. I might put a photo of lock down hair sometime when I’ve nothing else!
Great to have a fish van handy.. we have one that comes once a week .. but have never bought from him.. Yhe hair is a real problem.. thinking that perhaps now is the time to go natural.. we will see when the time comes..
Nice shot Pat. Our fish van arrives every Wednesday and Saturday in our neighbour village (3 km from where we live).
Love your nr 3. So glad I stopped dying my hair some years ago...
Am smiling at the 'Hair Sagas'. My mother was a hairdresser with her own salon during the 40's in Sheffield until she and my father moved to the Isle of Man to become hoteliers. She used to cut all our hair, except of course her own. Mine has naturally morphed to an acceptable silver grey and until LockDown l had it cut every 4 weeks. I postponed my last appt for a week. Bad decision! Don’tcha know that 1 day into that week...we had LD! Am now, reluctantly growing it...although it gives me the opportunity to consider a New Look if/when LD becomes history.
@s4sayer Same here Margo, I’m quite interested to see how nine fairs...I’m quite liking it at the moment but I have to wash it more often to keep it from going the wrong way! I bet you wish your mum was around now! I think you would call mine more white!
How lovely that it has kept going. I am smiling at the comments about haircuts. I recklessly took my nail scissors to my fringe a couple of days ago.......oh me oh my!!! Thank goodness no-one can see me is all I can say!!
@casablanca They say do t cut your fringe when it’s wet....it springs up again too short. I will need to be doing mine soon, it’s beginning to make my forehead itch.
So glad that you are still able to buy fish and chips. Some of our restaurants and fish shops are taking order for take away's but I haven't used any of them yet.
My hairdresser has a salon in her home and as from tomorrow our restrictions will be partially lifted to two people being able to visit a friend so I may be able to have my hair cut soon.
How wonderful to be able to buy fresh fish here - ours would only be in the supermarket and who knows how old! My hair is getting longer too - and I expect there will be a lot more grey heads now!
@sailingmusic No masks Myrna...we are not recommended to use them in most circumstances yet. You do see some people wearing them but it’s still quite rare in our area. Apparently the scientific view is they don’t offer much protection in most circumstances....we shall see if that changes. They are now recommended in Scotland since yesterday. We have masks but I haven’t used mine yet...I wore gloves while shopping though.
@maggiemae I think you’re right...grey is good sometimes! I like the silliness when you use a colour but my hairdresser can put a colourless one in to get the condition every so often if I wish.
How strange I thought your fish was very very fresh. We live nearish the sea & Fleetwood used to be a very big fishing town, not so now but they do sell fresh fish.
Lovely image. I feel awkward talking to others with 5 or 6 feet distance apart, it just doesn't feel natural. The day before yesterday I dyed Christine's hair for the first - and probably last - time in my life and I did a good job.
