When I went out early to feed the birds the sky was pretty but not as spectacular as yesterday. The bird bath was frozen but I could remove the layer of ice.
Tina is off today and we had thought about getting out in the garden, but my knees have really flared up and are very painful and Tina has an achy shoulder so we headed off out to Beverley to go to a couple of garden centres that we don’t usually visit.
Tina was amused by the toilet sign, I used that loo!
We had lunch at the first garden centre, really nice and waitress service. The second garden centre has an area that they are developing as an ndoor garden and they intend to have markets and events there. It is still under construction at the moment.
We got quite a few plants at the first centre, hopefully my knees will have settled down by the weekend and I can get them in.
Since we got home one of the church wardens dropped off a lot of primula for us, so plenty to keep me going!
The second garden centre has a craft section, bought a few bits in the sale but no boxes for decorating at the class! One of the bargains was a pad for colouring, supposed to be used with special pencils but we thought it would work with other.
Have had a play this evening and used the lovely pencils I got in America a couple of years ago.
Tina spotted a round vegetable brush for me to use next time I attack the eagle lectern!
I’ve not read a book for a long time. Can’t seem to get into it these days. Hopefully you’ll continue now you’ve made a start again.
ReplyDeleteThe morning sky is still quite funky, specially with the silhouetted foreground. Must have been pretty cold too judging by the chunk of ice you removed. That actually would have looked pretty good if it’d been in one piece. Quite a nice pattern and the nice plain outer sets it off.
Glad you got out for a while today rather than slaving over the garden. Lunch and shopping is exactly what you should be doing. Sounds even posher when you say you were out to lunch with the vicar 😊
Great loo sign 🚽 The indoor garden, specially with future events is a really good idea. Specially with all the rubbish weather we’ve had lately.
You should have kept a record of all the plants you’ve dug up and all the ones you’ve planted! Maybe not one of how much you’ve spent though 😊
I really like the pad you got. That looks really effective. So much better on the darker paper and makes a change from a light background. I’m sure you find lots of uses for those, and you get the pleasure of colouring them. I foresee several nice cards appearing in a day or so.
Hope the brush makes the cleaning a bit easier.
An enjoyable day despite the fact that I have been hobbling about!
ReplyDeleteWhen I threw the ice down I this’d think I should have put it down carefully!
It will be nice to get a few now colourful flowers not the garden, hopefully I will be up to it by the weekend.
I think the colouring sheets are really effective and as you say will make attractive cards.
