Change...

Is as good as a rest..so they say. This morning we took ourselves off to the Dobbies garden World. It is a new one just outside Southport. very nice too. Quite a big place with a food hall and garden centre and a large gift centre. We had a good look round, and VT joined the garden club where you get vouchers for two cups of coffee a month. We had our first two this morning. Nothing fancy but ok coffee.
We bought some of the Fine Cheese Company Fruit Cheeses, a Damson, Fig and a Gooseberry one. Also got a nice apple and ginger chutney, some Oval Albert biscuits and some little oatcakes. Worth going back especially if you are loking for a gift. they had an excellent gift dept.
Stopped in at Waitrose on the way home because I wanted something to go with tonight's tea, and some cash from the machine. Got some pears, broccoli and peas, and grapes etc., I do like that shop, just wish it wasn't so expensive really. everything you buy is so much more than everywhere else.
Tonight we are having:
Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto, A recipe VT spotted from the recipe of the day in the Daily Mail.
With it, Asparagus, tenderstem broccoli and peas.
