We went out this morning, because VT wanted to get some plants for his two hanging baskets. One for the front and the other for the back outside the kitchen window. So we went to Dobbies, then we could get our free coffees as well. Method in the madness!
Gorgeous day today,really warm and sunny. Dobbies was quite quiet, we thought it would be busy with kids but it wasn't at all. VT suggested we had our coffees outside, so we did, sat under an umbrella in front of a nice display with grasses shrubs and a rowing boat. really lovely. then he pointed out there were chickens on the other side, and a cockerel started crowing! It seemed every time VT opened his mouth it crowed..and what a crow. it sounded like he had a sore throat and needed some throat sweets. it was a sort of cockle doodle squawk! hilarious..kept us amused for ages. We had a mooch round the gardens and ended up at the chickens. they were for sale £35 each..quite nice colours all a bit different. there was one little one that was being picked on by the others poor little thing. i would have had that one. It had a little friend a lovely white fluffy one and they would have made a nice pair.
Came back via waitrose to get some potatoes, and also some ice cream to go with our peaches in brandy that we have got left. They had an offer on Green and Blacks two for £5 so we got those. One vanilla and one vanilla and raspberry swirl. Mmmm.
VT is in the garden planting his baskets now, the cats are prowling around, including the ginger girl next door, but Rusty is up here on the bed all curled up in the shade.
Tonight we are having:
pea mint and feta tartlet from Waitrose..two packs for £5.
Small tin of spaghetti to go with
A few little new potatoes.
Peaches in brandy and ice cream yum yum.
