We were up and out soon after nine and decided to head straight for home, but Tina set the route to miss the motorways so it wa pretty and we were through some nice villages and along some very twisty roads! We stopped at a garden centre near Beverley that we had never been to before and had a very nice coffee and cake. Had a look round and you will be surprised to hear came way with a couple of plants! I took a photo of one of them at the centre, not the actual one I bought but it is a sort of miniature sea holly.
The other plant was an impressive grass called ‘fireworks’, we put them on the foot well at the back of the car and it amused us on the way home as it was sliding back and forth behind my chair at roundabouts!
The cats were pleased to see us, particularly Pandora as she came and sat with up on the swing when I had topped up the bird feeders. She even stayed on there for quite a while after we came in.
While we were in Pateley Bridge we went into a charity shop and Tina spotted this jigsaw which seemed appropriate but will probably be. Bit of a challenge to do!
On Sunday I bought a storage container with zips top and bottom, only a pound and will be good for material as it is sort of see through as well!
I did walk down the road to buy a few bits. Still very warm and I felt shattered! Need a rest!
I have watered the gardens this evening, can use the hose again tomorrow and then the van starts on Friday. I sat on the swing again for a rest and Pandora came haring across the lawn to join me!
Shetland to watch tonight then probably a reasonably early night.
The sky pics are nice, particularly the second one. Shame about the wires! They really should be banned, specially in scenic spots!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the trip home was more fun than just heading along a motorway. They may be quicker, but definitely not so pretty. The mini sea holly definitely had to be bought, you can be forgiven that one. The grass is colourful so can be allowed I supposed. You really need to get over this addiction though 😄
I’m sure Pandora was really happy to see you both. No doubt Darren looked after her, but I bet she wasn’t as spoiled as when you’re around. She knows which side her bread is buttered 😊
The jigsaw doesn’t really look one of the easiest I’ve seen, but I’m sure you’ll soon have it together.
Not surprised you’re feeling shattered today. It has been warm and you’ve been used to “taking it easy” for a couple of days, sort of. I’m sure you’ll soon get back into your normal routine again, which probably isn’t a good thing considering everything you do.
I’m looking forward to Shetland too. Enjoy the rest of your evening, and hopefully have a good night later.
It was a pleasant ride home and a very good garden centre. Only two plants to find a home for!
ReplyDeleteWon’t start the puzzle just yet, but will have a go at it.
