By luck we returned to the village today for a barbecue and Hannah almost burst with excitement when she spotted the sign. This year's sale started on Thursday, when lines apparently snaked out of the door and around the block, but there were many boxes of goodies left for us to trawl through.
All the clothes on offer are medium-sized, which is convenient to average people like us, and more excitingly there were lots of tents and rucksacks still for sale. Hannah left very happy with several skirts and dresses, Amanda got some very nice trousers and tops, and for some time I've been looking for a light, little hiking tent to complement our monster purchase of a previous sale. I was very pleased to find a Meso 22 at 30% it's usual price - a gorgeously cute little 2-person tent that, unlike many for sale in the US, is waterproof. Now, when the aliens land, I can run for the hills...with one other lucky person.
So many bargain hunters!
Getting away with the swag.
Me and my Meso. It's 4lbs 1oz - lighter than most babies. And you can't camp in a baby!
Talking of babies, here are some gratuitous shots to keep everyone happy - Arbel, Noa, and Charlie.
Arbel, doing what he does best. He has added rolling over to his bag of tricks, at 12 days old! We always expected great things.
This is Charlie - Charles Thomas Dideum - who belongs to Patrick and Kathy. He was 10lbs at birth, and at 13 weeks is wearing 9-12 month baby grows! He smiles lots and sleeps 12 hours every night. A career in American football beckons, but I'm petitioning the parents to consider rugby.
Noa, getting annoyed (again) at too many photos.
Success has many fathers...
