part 2

the line at the country living fair was amazingly l o n g the bonus of the early bird pass is you buy pass this line.....the disadvantage of sleeping in having breakfast and getting there as the gate is about to open (true tale) is no early shopping..but still by passing the line...yeah

love my buddy here with all the bus signage orginals from london they are always so yummy

what about happy chair the name says it all....

fun fun stuff...

more stories and photos soon it's just about to get good.
