While Furry Mama was walking Pepper Pooch yesterday evening, she bumped into the lady that mentioned the vintage shop all those weeks ago. She told Creative Clara that one person had left and another was leaving. She also said that the owner would be there this morning, so Clever Bird decided to pop in and see what was happening. Pepper and Furry Mama were in town before the shop was open, so they popped along for their cheese scone and cappuccino training session. Halesworth has a scarecrow week at the moment. All the independent shops have some kind of scarecrow on display. Most are more likely to scare people like Baggy rather than crows - they nearly all had some horrible Halloween or vampire kind of thing going on. The one at The Hideout Café was a cute SpongeBob. Pepper however was terrified of it until Furry Mama persuaded him to get close enough to sniff it. Having realised that it wasn't real he decided to accept it.
He was still pretty scared of a lot of the noises, especially of van doors opening and closing, but he is getting more confident. He positively marched back up the high street to the vintage shop. The owner greeted Baggy and Pepper and told Creative Clara that a space was coming up. Clara said she'd heard. It turns out that the person who's already left, is the woman she spoke to last night. Weird. But the good news is that once all the current people have decided on where they want to be re-shuffled to, then, hopefully in November, there'll be a space for Clara's things. Time for Clever Bird to be brave and go for it and to decide which stock to put in it! Clever Bird is being positive that it will go ahead this time - just in time for Christmas. Yay!
Feeling positive, Baggy took Furry Mama and Pepper for a walk to the outskirts of town. The plan was to do a loop, but when they got to the field that they needed to cross, the bull, cows and their babies were all standing by the exit gate on the other side of the field. Even Clever Bird knew that risking going through them would be incredibly stupid, so they headed back the way they'd come. It was supposed to rain today in little old Suffolk, but it's been a lovely day, more like summer than autumn, so Gloria Gardener decided to take charge.
Since she's actually officially owned her garden she's barely been in it. Today she decided to do one of those jobs that never ends - pick up autumn leaves! As the garden is a mini woodland, it's a bit of a challenge. Two hours and ten large bin liners later she stopped, having cleared a tiny area, while Furry Mama continually threw Pepper's ball for him. Baggy is going to end up like a mediaeval archer at this rate with one bicep twice the size of the other.........
