day trip

This sewing box was a surprise win on ebay for £1.99. I didn't realise that it was buyer collect until I had won, so it involved a day trip to the Kent coast this week. However I managed to combine it with a visit to Whitstable to drop off some roddy&ginger to Frank, tea with an old college friend and a scout around the seaside charity shops which turned up a splendid globe, some vintage Summer reading and a delicious dish which I think is Norwegian. I am not surprised the sellers were unwilling to post the sewing box, it is truly massive with a wingspan of nearly five foot when fully opened out and will double up as a handy coffee table!
