Fathers Day

I ran out of wool for my current WIP blanket a few days ago and the wool shop that I bought the last lot from was a tiny gift shop called Polka Dot in the beautiful village of Woodhall Spa. So it was suggested we should take B for an Ice cream and I could top up while we were there!

 First port of call was the ice cream parlour.

The kids had strawberry tubs with chocolate sauce and B had a banana ice cream in a waffle with chocolate sauce. I was a good girl and only had a coffee.

Woodhall spa is famous for its Delicatessen. I could spend all my pennies in there. When I win the lottery im so buying my own Deli. From Chocolate to cheese there is something for everyone. If it wasnt for the Slimming World plan I could have bought half the shop.

Not the best picture im afraid but a few of the cakes in the window. We were having lunch with B's brother and his girlfriend so bought cake for pudding, apple strudel, carrot cake, chocolate brownies, and gingerbread faces.

We stopped in the memorial gardens of 617 Sqn the "Dambusters" to sit and reflect on these brave men who gave their lives on Fathers Day. 

Eeek not the most flattering picture of me!

Then finally to the real reason I suggested Woodhall Spa, the wool shop. B suggested that him and the children would wait in the car and I could pop in on my own.

Aaahhhhh so pretty. I only needed three more colours to finish my blanket so I dont think I done bad when I left the shop with 5 balls. Two of them were the same colour so i really was very restrained ;)

We had a lovely lunch cooked by Donna and the kids were really excited as they have a 9 week old Labradoodle puppy called Bailey. Finished off by scrummy cake and home in time for bath and bed. All in all a really lovely fathers day! How did you spend your day?
