Shopping on the canal at Burton

My Saturday out. After nattering with the ladies magnet fishing, I went to the church where my Uncle Stan is buried to check in with him. Yes, I know he is not there, but Burton is a trip down memory lane for me. I called into a shop on Horninglow Road to say hello to someone who I knew at School. I was more friends with her sister, Celia, but I call in to get the news. The shop has been passed down through generations. They sell everything for the garden and pets. A real old fashioned shop. I bought a big bag of cat litter. Then I walked to another shop which is run by my cousin, to say hello there. I drove up the road to where I used to live with my mum and brother. The estate now is packed with cars. Really different to when we got the bus and walked everywhere. I drove past the flat where I used to live, it's still there, above the cafe. 

My main purpose of going to Burton was to visit the floating market on the canal. I pulled into Shobnall Marina and asked for directions to Shobnall Playing Fields where there is a big car park, close to the canal. Oooh, this looks exciting. 

Lovely sunny day for a stroll along the canal. Maybe pick up a bargain or two, or a treat. 

The smiley cheese lady. Yes, I couldn't resist it. 

I like this kind of market. What a nice life to trundle up and down the waterways, selling your wares. 

I waited till later on when there wasn't so many people about to make a short video. 

What did I buy? Tasty cheese of course. 

There are so many different flavours about these days, it's hard to keep track of what I have already tasted. This list will help. 

Check out the Cheese Boat Facebook page. Sue is one busy lady. 

This flowery hat caught my eye, got to have it. 

Cool eh! It was made for me. Check out Blue Adeline Crafts. Fantastic web site, she makes some lovely crafty things. 

Some of you may be wondering why I am suddenly spending money, when I have had a lifetime being frugal and penny pinching. Because I have always lived within my means and mostly bought what I need rather than what I want, I now find that I am no longer skint. Spending my money with independent traders is my way of paying back. We need to keep small businesses going. 

On with the story. Before I left Burton I wanted to take a look at my Grandma's house in the very small village of Dunstall. Grandma Blanche and Granddad Walter brought up four boys and one girl there. I used to spend my summer holidays there. I loved it and wish I could have stayed. Six weeks wasn't long enough. The freedom of roaming the countryside has stayed with me, hence the job I did, and the walking and travelling I do now. I am a country bumpkin at heart. 

The cottage is no longer a small cottage. It is going through a renovation which will double the size of it. I sat outside in my car for a few minutes remembering. I drove away with a heavy heart. Nothing stays the same. 

Saturday night I arrived at Lincoln Showground. They let me into the field parking area when everyone was leaving. I found a space along a hedge and bedded down for the night. 

Tomorrow is TRUCKFEST. 

We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip.   ilona
