along the towpath in Wareham and in town this wonderful shop, run by a fabulous Mother & Daughter team,</h3>
<h3 align="center">
(who incidentally love DH).</h3>
<h3 align="center">
The shop is stuffed full with current & vintage clothes and fabrics, also Daisy Mae makes lovely drawstring lounging trousers and messenger bags, stupidly I didn’t take any pictures, however I will be popping back soon as we venture further East on our days out. They do sell online so take a look at the website. </h3>

I am a one for timeworn and battered!</h3>
<h3 align="center">
Onto the Victorian pier, which like the one at Clevedon, are the only to in the country that have to self fund their restoration, (this makes me very cross, however no ranting today).</h3>
<h3 align="center">
They had already raised about seventy thousand pounds and spent it on restoration, only for it all to be wrecked by a massive storm earlier in this year!</h3>

I have a small spot at Station Mill and would love to do “less is more”, I plan to do so, but it never quite works!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week I have brought in a few more pieces of small furniture and my love, a few bits of garden stuff, a blue ladder and children’s chairs, a beautiful green wirework planter, a pair of Danish oars and some very bright vintage fabric a lovely sky blue with yellow tulips….more springlike?<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-e5P4p_aGHPo/UOvW4fv8dII/AAAAAAAAOf8/KvrJjrpAIDY/s1600-h/20130107_114732%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img alt="20130107_114732" border="0" height="409" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DbGd09EacdM/UOvW6nC_KKI/AAAAAAAAOgE/N321Ur3noYA/20130107_114732_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentColor; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="20130107_114732" width="544" /></a></div>

As always there are lots of lovely items in stock throughout the shop….I seem to have been particularly drawn to sofas and cupboards this week!</div>

<span style="font-family: Nyala;">Not such an early start, however it was pitch black when we arrived, Why are the mornings so dark at the moment?</span></h3>
<h3 align="center">
<span style="font-family: Nyala;">Anyway first buy, a pair of framed educational prints, just as light was breaking through, I never buy in the dark it is when mistakes occur but I knew that these wouldn’t be there too long…I also bought a fabulous set of industrial drawers….these items will be making there way to </span><a href="http://www.dairyhouseantiques.co.uk/"><span style="font-family: Nyala;">Dairy House</span></a><span style="font-family: Nyala;"> soon.</span></h3>
<h3 align="center">
<span style="font-family: Nyala;">On our way back, we popped into a little upmarket junk shop that has recently opened near to where we live. I go in nearly everyday as Martyn that owns it is always bringing new stock in.</span></h3>
<h3 align="center">
<span style="font-family: Nyala;">I went to collect this teaset, although I don’t usually buy them, with Spring just around the corner I felt compelled, he did have the most beautiful Victorian one in fine white bone china with a molded design and pale blue floral decoration but by the time I phoned him back it was sold……if you see it buy it….he who hesitates….</span></h3>

<h3 align="center">
<span style="font-family: Nyala;">Off to Malvern tomorrow to hopefully fill the van, and then next week a trip to </span><a href="http://www.stationmill.com/"><span style="font-family: Nyala;">Station Mill</span></a><span style="font-family: Nyala;"> and one to Dairy House.</span></h3>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think that today being the Winter Solstice must mean a new beginning and a turn around in our fortune.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since November I have been treading water and a number of mishaps have befallen us, however not as terrible as some people have suffered or are suffering, I have found recent times extremely difficult......and it goes on, again this morning we have been flooded out of our temporary home and it doesn't seem that we will have our own space for the 25th, and to be honest I am fed up with imposing ourselves on our good friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the past month or so we have found out how kind our friends are and I would just like to thank them and say that I hope in some way I will be able to repay them in the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope that you all have a lovely yuletide.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have wasted so much time on Wordpress, and although I like the designs and options, the fact that followers have to recieve/fill in email/faff, has put me off..... I have decided for the moment to bite the bullet and stick to blogger, at the moment (unfortunately) I have plenty of time so am going to "make over" my blogger site and as I will be paying for it will be posting more often, hopefully interesting and lovely things....????</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No more dithering!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will get started today.</div>

I think that I am migrating to Wordpress.........I will keep all of you informed!!<br />
T x <br />
yes.....here it is, although I am not sure that I will stay,<br />
<a href="http://www.vintagebothy.wordpress.com/">www.vintagebothy.wordpress.com</a><br />
<br />
Haha.....be patient with me, although I have started my Wordpress blog, I feel really sad to leave the blog that I have been writing for over two years, my pictures will no longer be with me and it may take some time to build up my new blog.....<br />
I feel that I may succomb to falling into line with Google and paying them their MONTHLY bag of silver pieces in order to maintain my lovely blog.<br />
I will be doing this very begrudgingly and haven't made a final decision yet................<br />

I am currently unable to buy a 10gb allowance for blogger, they want a monthly fee for uploadiing pictures...which currently as I am not blogging as much (is not expensive), but the principle, is causing me to question if I need to continue with The Vintage Bothy.<br />
I will let you know....<br />
You can still see pictures of Dairy House Antiques at their blog and FB page.<br />
