I saw some hollyhock plants and later on some foxgloves which I had been going to get at a garden centre as some of ours have died. So that was a real find as they were a fraction of the price I would have paid. Darren also got a tv, without remote, for a pound! Then Darren suggested we go and have hot chocolate by the sea, great idea, as I was quite cold! Quite misty by the sea again.
When I got home I opened the very strange looking package that Anya had left yesterday. It is just lovely and made in Zimbabwe from recycled material. A lily of the valley which she knows I like.
Tina made a lovely dinner when she got home, very large and very enjoyable. Was quite full then!
I went out into the garden as I had a lot of plants to get into the ground. I was surprisingly tired by the time I had finished!
I put the garden stake into the garden where I will be ble to see it from the summer house.
I did go and sit in the summerhouse for a while. The small birds are going in the cage and it is a good way from the summer house. Took this not great pic with the phone thought a dirty window, but you can see it is being used!
Quite weary this evening so just relaxing. Looking forward to the icon course tomorrow.
It was a bit chilly this morning after all the nice weather we’ve had recently, but it could have been worse I suppose. The game looks quite good and in extremely good condition. Probably only played once, if that. Worth going this morning just for the flowers. Sounds like you saved a fair bit on them. A tv for a pound sounds a bargain too. I must start to go to boot sales again 😊
ReplyDeleteThe sea does look a bit Misty and cold. I bet the hot chocolate made up for it though.
I love the lily of the valley Anya got for you. A perfect gift for Mother’s Day. You’ve had a really good weekend with visits, pressies and being waited on. Back to reality on Monday 😄
I’m not surprised you were tired after putting the plants in. You’ve had a few days out there tidying it up and it catches up with you eventually.
The pic of the birds isn’t bad considering the distance. You can clearly see them in there making use of it. Looks like it’s turned out a good buy and exactly what you were looking for. Bet the seagulls hate you now 😂
I look forward to seeing pics of the next stage of the icon tomorrow. At least you’ll be sitting down most of tomorrow, although in itself can be quite tiring.
A lovely weekend, very spoilt and a great meal.
ReplyDeleteWeary now so no gardening tomorrow is probably a good idea.
