I thought wombling was a term for picking up and keeping all the rubbish (my husband refers to my wombling) but it's much nicer for charity shopping!<br />I enjoyed your dialogue (and jaunty red beret!). Glad you had a lovely trip with Mumra. <br />Your Next trousers and skirt are great and I love the arty pop up book! Yes, I agree, those children's clothes in adult sized would be amazing! I smiled at your mention of Portreath in the distance. We only stopped in Redruth to visit the Supermarket but it always makes me think of Enid Blyton when I hear the name as I think there was a school book (or at least, a school was referred to) called Red Roofs!<br />Hope you are well!xKezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732465449128940625.post-47976228461209317192023-02-12T12:58:08.795-08:002023-02-12T12:58:08.795-08:00I love that you call it wombling!
