A year makes! Good friday last year was cold, and VT had ordered a bag of peat blocks from Hortex. very unlike today where it is lovely and sunny, with people out in shorts and t-shirts.
We went to Waitrose this morning to get our weekend things,whilst we found a parking place easily, the store was very busy, far more so than usual. We got our usual, and not much more, but I always come out of there feeling that I haven't got a lot for my money. It's good quality stuff...mostly...but it is an expensive store, there is no getting round that. Plus, there are no extras, they don't really go in for offers, and no loyalty cards, or points systems. So it is a dear do. Not a lot for the customer really compared to the other stores. You are paying for them being "Posh".
Good friday...I used to hate Godd Friday when I was young, because it was a very churchy day. We would have to go about three times, and there was the ceremony of kissing the cross which I never kliked, and the Stations of the Cross which seemed to go on for ever. Easter is an odd time of the year, not really celebrated like Christmas, but an important christian festival. Easter Sunday was in our house again a Church day, with a new coat and a new hat for the occasion. Then my old "new" coat would become the second best coat. Odd the traditions that you have in a family.
The poor little Orchid.. All its flowers have now gone. Aaaah. It has been a terrific blaze of colour for weeks and weeks, almost five months. I wonder when it will flower again?
Tonight we are having:
Fishless fingers
Chips 200grms between us
Mushy peas for VT and green beans for moi
Tartare sauce.
