Now for Breakfast and Brew.
The thermal vest went back on!
Opened the curtains....
The sun is back \o/
We got the trolley ready.
Now to leave the house...
Now off to Droitwich Spa.
We parked just over the road.
Now to visit the Lions.
We said hello to everyone.
Bought some nice stuff.
Said we have three boxes full of books to give them, when they get low on books.
Wished them a Happy Christmas.
We moved onto the next Charity Shop whose system went down, couldn't accept cards,so I had to dig deep for £7 in cash.
Back to the car and to move it to the Waitrose Car park.
The church on the hill.
We visited two more Charity shops.
The third one had a good song playing in the shop, and we had to sing along with it...
 Nice Christmas Tree I found in Wilko↓
Then off for a coffee to warm up!
Then more Charity Shops to explore.
Salvation Army Band was out playing some great Christmas Tunes.
Next stop was to pick up some bits in Waitrose.
There was a brass band playing out the front.
Some nice bits in there↓
Great Private Eye front cover↓
I nipped into the final Charity Shop and found a Frank Ifield signed album!
I found out the story behind the album cover.
Let's have a little bit of Frank Ifield shall we?
Back home to unload all the bargains!
Light lunch...
Then we go out to put a wreath on my parent's grave.
Back home.
I put the tea on.
Then we did today's Heardle.
Heardle 60s:
My answers:
Tea is ready.
Chicken with mash.
Then I looked into today's newspaper.

Now to watch some things on Netflix.
