V.O.I RALLY WEM SHROPSHIRE

We've registered our place in the show for next year already. It's the V.O.I show....don't know what that means?

Vehicles of Interest Rally

The weather was fantastic and lots of friends came too and we sat around enjoying the gorgeous sunshine with ice creams thanks Andy and the odd pint or two....all afternoon. 

We took part in the 12 o'clock parade with out 1976 Camper called Noo Noo.

Talking to one of the judges, he told us the show had 150 registered cars last year and over 300 actually turned up, this year over 300 registered and they didn't know how many would actually turn up on the day....lots just looking at the fantastic selections of wonderful historic cars, tractors, commercial vehicles and campers

Some fascinating stories with some of the wonderful cars...a Cadillac at the show was 103years old. And several from 1920/30's ...and every year you could possibly want to see.

A basket of yarn, well you can't go out for the day without at least a dozen colours can you?

 I managed to add a completerow of hex to the Hex blanket I'm making in all wool mix and acrylic dk ends of balls....randomly picked and joined as you go 

Taken in todays sunshine....going to be another scorcher and even hotter tomorrow they say!

OOOH HOUSE HUNTING...AGAIN!!

Spent yesterday morning house hunting on the laptop and the afternoon viewing!!...lol don't you just LOVE looking at property hehe

All that EXCITING potential.....Looked at a small town called Wem a bungalow and a cottage

Closer to OH's work but unfortunately not close enough we did the journey back to test the milage..shame 'cos l quite liked Wem

Cant find a photo of the bungalow from yesterday seems to have disappeared!!

Bungalow had wonderful potential but was over priced for all the work needed....nothing we couldn't have done but a lot to do....

Almost all the ceilings covered in polystyrene tiles..illegal!!

the garage was a wreck and made of asbestos....costly to have removed

All the wallpapers coming off the walls and all the carpets a mess....no idea what you might find under the loose wallpapers and ceiling tiles!!...a lot of plastering a possibility

But a fabulously sunny home with lots of space and a great size with a big garden and loadsa space for Noo Noo....

Cottage gorgeous loved it loved the space loved the open fireplace and the open plan rooms bedrooms ok

BUT....after stepping inside and ooooohing and arrrrhing the agent dropped the bomb shell the gate and the drive which look like they belong (in fact did originally) were shared and the carport and side entrance had been sold to the neighbouring house!!!!!!

Couldn't believe the insanity of that one...she agreed and said it's why they can't sell it everyone says the same thing....perfect cottage useless to us with out the drive and car parking space..the main reason for moving!!

COTTAGE IN WEM

big mistake....wouldn't you think the gate and drive belonged to the cottage?..ggggrrrrr

BOMERE HEATH......the next village to try.....

only about 4 miles from Shrewsbury perfect!.....Todays veiwing fingers crossed just waiting for the agents to open...another bungalow

Love looking at property so yesterday was a FUN DAY and at least we now know Wem is not a viable option...fingers crossed for Bomere Heath!

Moving on is a simple thing, what's left behind is hard!

hope you'll enjoy the house hunt journey too
