Trip to Driffield

We were later away this morning as we were waiting for the new Ringtons delivery man to arrive. He always comes later than Shane used to and we haven’t seen him for the last two calls. We wanted extra tea bags this time so Tina can take plenty away with her. So it was getting on for lunch time when we left so we went straight to a new restaurant that is next to Rafters, where my veggie boxes come from. The cafe hasn’t been open long but it was very busy, they first said there wasn’t a table then some people got up to go so we were lucky. I don offer take pics of the meals but made an exception today. Mine was a Thai salad with satay chicken and Tina’s there take on a breakfast.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We only had a couple of hours in the car park but we managed to get a new pair of sandals each and enjoyed browsing at the fruit and ver in Rafters. We did buy some including carrot bunches, ordinary and red. I had cut the tops and washed them in the photo, the red/purple ones are quite a lot darker in reality, I wonder if they will lose their colour when cooked.

We bought a few bit in Lidl before heading home. Tina spotted a decorated rat in one of the villages and stopped so I could get out to photograph it. A particularly nicely decorated rat, wish we had it in Hornsea.

I had been looking at the local paper before we went out and spotted a little article about Rosie.

A few weeks ago when I was clearing stuff on the landing I found an amaryllis that had been there a couple of years or more which had green shoots. Those leaves are now humongous but no sign it is going to have a bloom!

Will rising with some pics of me in Ghana when I did some work at the school my host worked at. No such thing as health and safety there!
