Out Today..

Nice little outing this morning. Vin and I took ourselves off to Dobbies for our April coffees. lovely Spring day with the daffodils in full bloom although they are really late this yesr. dobbies were selling hanging baskets, but we thought it was a bit early yet, it is still quite cold at night, and there is still a bit of colour in the hanging baskets in the back garden outside the kitchen window.

Had a bit of a mooch about before we had our coffees and I saw a woodden bench set that was really sturdy and comfortable to sit on so decided to get one for the better weather.  The table and chairs that we have in the patio area are really uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time, and these would make a really nice addition to the garden.  I think they are called a Jack and Jill set, and have a little table in the middle to put mugs or glasses on. lovely hard wood too. Vin reckons he has a 10% voucher somewhere which would be a bit of money off them so he says he will go back at the weekend. it is £199 but well worth it I think.
So we then went for our coffees. very quiet in the cafe part with only a few people about. he had a flat white and I had an Americano. Very nice too. Then we went to the food hall area and bought some mint crisps and a box of shortbread rounds, not big purchases today.
Timed the journey back since it was exactly 1 o'clock when we left and it was twenty past when we got back. Doesn't take long to get there and back, nice place to go actually.
Tonight we are having:
Leftover pizza with
Green salad and avocado and baby plum tomatoes
Potato salad for moi and pasta salad for Vin.
