Boot sale and willing it to rain!

We went to the boot sale this morning as usual, very hot and humid so early in the day. I just bought three pairs of earrings for a princely pound and Darren a pack of cards, so very restrained today. I didn’t make it all the way round so went and waited in the car when I had had enough. Have the journey tomorrow and didn’t want to overdo it!
Afterwards we drove to the sea front and had an ice cream. A bit cooler by the sea.
The random poppy has become three poppies!
Tina had been given a plant which didn’t get watered a couple of times so definitely looked at deaths door! Given lots of water and tlc and now in a pot in the walled garden it looks pretty healthy now.
I did go out and staked a few more of the sunflowers, ever hopeful that the storm would arrive and wanted to stop them getting flattened! Said storm has bypassed us again.
I went to Skipsea church with Tina this afternoon and took some photos of a few of the flower arrangements.
There were some pots with succulents in for sale and I bought this one that has a couple of cacti about to flower.
Feeling shattered and a long day tonorrow so will retire after watching Van Der Valk.

  1. You were both very good at the boot sale today. I’m sure you’ll make up for it another day though. An ice cream by the sea sounds really nice. I could have done with that a few times today! Looks pleasant there with the blue sky and the sun on the sea.
    The plant you managed to rescue is really nice. I hope it gets watered while you’re away and doesn’t look too droopy when you get back.
    Skippy church looks very pretty with all the flower displays in it. Any plastic ones? 😄 I really like the pot you got with the cacti in it. I’d have probably gone for that myself. Easyish to look after too.
    Hopefully you’ll take it a little bit easier down here. After the long tiring train journeys that is! Hope you trip all goes to plan. See you soon.
