This morning I unpacked and got the washing ready for later. I went out and had a look round the garden, the weeds haven’t grown as much as I had imagined they would. The lovely fir tree in a pot has lots of new growth.
I put four lupins in earlier in the year. One is now in bloom, one has a bud and the other two look like they have given up!
The bonsai trees are doing well.
And two sticks have growth.
Tina’s brother and his wife called in on their way further north which was nice. We had been going to go to the cathedral to see the canvasses but Tina hasn’t been well this week and is still not right so I went on my own. I went along the river path and it wasn’t too muddy. The ferns and wild flowers have grown and it is very green.
I did go and see the canvasses, they put a red spot on ones that had already been sold, one of mine had been sold which is good. I bought two and will post them when I collect them. They will be on display tomorrow so plenty of time for more to be bought. Then I went into The Clootie Dumpling and had some Clootie dumping and a pot of tea. I loved the tea timer!
Lots of cream with that pudding.
I had a wander in the town and got some sausage rolls for our tea. I was feeling really tired and my hip then knee had been painful so I took advantage of benches on the way back! This flower was in a bed in the town and I loved that it looked like stars.
While the washing was on I started the wooden jigsaw. Only 250pieces but it will be very tricky. There are lots of bits that look straight edged but aren’t and then there are the peculiar shapes, let alone the sameness of the picture!
Still feeling quite weary but travelling is tiring.
Quite a busy day for you considering you’ve only just got back from your southern trip. You don’t like to let the grass grow beneath your feet, or the weeds for that matter 😊 Glad to hear they hadn’t grown as much as you expected. To be honest I expected them to be taking over the garden when you got back. I do like to see new growth on fir trees as it always looks such a vivid colour. The other plants look very healthy too. How’s the oak doing?
ReplyDeleteWas it an unexpected visit from Tina’s brother and wife, or did you know they were popping in?
Good to hear one of the canvases has gone. There’s still time for more yet. I do envy you just popping in for a Clootie Dumpling 😊 It looks so good with all that cream. I really could eat that right this minute!
Sorry to hear the hip and knee are giving you trouble. You did do a lot of walking while you were down here too, so even having a weeks break didn’t really help you rest your joints. I hope it wears off a bit before long. I think you’ll definitely have to get a shooting stick so you’ve always got a seat with you 😊
That plant does look like stars. I’m surprised you didn’t “borrow” a cutting.
You’re right, that puzzle will be tricky, but at least it’s not a 1000 piece one 😊
Hopefully you’ll get a decent night tonight 🤞🤞
The plants outdoor and indoor are fine which is good.
ReplyDeleteThe oak is still looking very sad, but I haven’t lost hope completely.
Tina did know that her brother was popping in, we had a cuppa and cake they went to see the church with Tina.
I was looking at the canvasses at about 1.15pm and they were going to be on show until five I think, so I expect a few more were sold today and there is all day tomorrow.
I think how all the shapes blend in with the wooden jigsaws is really clever, they don’t interlock so that adds to the fun!
