Signs of Spring?

No not really.. VT has cleared out the front garden and at the moment the barrel is empty. So we went to Dobbies this morning to get a few plants for a pot to give a bit of colour in the front. They have a good selection of winter flowering plants and bulbs. He says he is ok for bulbs since he has still got a lot from last year, but he wanted a bit of instant colour. We opted for a tray of Violas in a very pretty shade of purply blue.
I had a look round because they have now got all the Christmas things out, and I was on the lookout for some things to go into the Secret Santa parcel which this year is going to Madrid Spain. So, I obviously don't want things that are too heavy, but do want tasteful things. I did get a lovely little book about Christmas which should make interesting reading. Apart from our free coffees that is all we got today really.
Some good news on the television today, they have been rescuing the miners in Chile all day and night. They seem to be working at about one miner an hour,and are presently at about fifteen of them. Their families must be so relieved, and they look in remarkably good health too. The Chilean Government have done a wonderful job together with expert help from people around the world. Good news indeedd.
Tonight we are javing:
Cheese and onion Quiche,
Spaghetti hoops
A few little boiled potatoes.
