Volcanic Ash

Lovely day today, but not if you are flying anywhere. There are no flights leaving the country from anywhere today at all due to some Volcanic Ash coming from Iceland. It is way up in the atmosphere but would damage planes if the fly through it so all planes are grounded. VT said that he hasn't seem any vapour trails today at all, usually there are loads, we are on a flight path from Manchester and Liverpool. I feel sorry for people stranded in Airports, there is nothing worse than hanging around.
We went for our April coffee at The ladygreen garden centre today. It has a lovely little coffee shop/resturant and was quite quiet today, even though it was a lovely day and sunny. We got our two free coffees and a packet of biscuits..a bargain 80p! There were lots of beige anoraks and jackets there, and women with grey permed hair, and old men with baggy trousers. I felt quite smart actually, and VT always looks nice.
We had a look around after, and bought two nice deep blue frost resistant pots for the garden. VT had said that a lot of our pots had been destroyed by the bad weather this year, especially the terracotta ones so we need some replacements to tidy thing up a bit.
Tonight there is a big debate on the television between the party leaders, should be interesting. I wonder how they will get on.
Tonight we are having:
Lamb Grills Quorn
Mashed Potatoes or squashed potatoes,
beans and carrots.
Pear Crumble to follow.
