Sunday 8 June 2008




Heidi was drawn into the murky and sordid world of car boot sales today, and was concealed in her Baby Bjorn papoose.

It was a really hot day again today, and she got slavered with sun tan cream before setting off. There is little point in using the pram in these conditions as she will probably get too hot, and jiggled about too much on the rough ground.

It is only the second or third one of the year here, but it is full and there is a good variety of vendors. Fairly quickly Rachel spies a baby bouncer she wanted, as a second one to go up to Chagford. We have one already but needed another. It is £1.50 and will do the job, and as we have a look at it, the lady points out another around the front of her car. It is a Fisher price one with a vibration mode and other flashing lights, which looks new. It is certainly clean and complete and works, so we barter her down to £8.00. They are about £40 new so this will do.

Later on our rounds I buy some home made jams and other bits and pieces, so potter back to the car with things we actually wanted.

We head back to clean the device of old phlegm and spittle, and soon it is back to its former glory.

Tonight roast pork is feasted upon. Tomorrow I head back to work, which is bad news. Rachel and Heidi are heading up to the moors for a short break after the Health Visitor has been.

Heidi sits in her new chair and spends the entire time looking out of the window at the sky, quite quiet and thoughtful. She really is filling out now and responds more than she did a week ago. She is very kissable…..
