St Helena buying

There are very few clothing or shoe shops available on the island, so when the Salvation Army holds their bi-monthly sale of 2nd hand goods, we make sure that we are there.  This week there was also a car boot sale at Pillings School.  So we (me, Arthur, Danny and her mom) spent a happy hour or 2 between the 2 places and came home with an arm full of treasures.  Toys and books, an abacus, and clothes and even a pair of 2nd hand, a bit big, but good shoes for Hannah.  At he moment, she walks bare feet a lot, (with Arthur and my encouragement) due to a lack of toddler shoes on the island.

I bought 3 pairs of trousers - for 3 pounds.  They were all marked the same size, but when I tried them on at home, one fitted, one was too small, and one was too big.  So I will take the 2 back that don't fit, and the Salvation Army can re-sell them.  (That is how we do clothing shopping here)

Doreen Bagley spotted the most beautifully made knitted doll, and bought it for Hannah - 50p.  I imagine that it was made by a German or Swiss lady - it would easily win first prize in a craft competition - the stitching is almost perfect.

Here is Hannah "shoosh-ing" her Susie.

And pressing the button to make "turtle" sing.

Hannah LOVES apples.  She will munch away on one for ages.  Here she is "munching"

Guess who is my favourite little person....
