Had a little outing today because we went over to Dobbies in Southport. We wanted to get some hanging baskets for the back garden wall to replace the ones that we have with the primroses in them. They have been wonderful all winter given the type of weather that we have had, but are getting to the end now. Dobbies have advertised ones at £5 a basket which is a good price. Unfortunately too good a price because they really didn't have any!! The only few they had, were filled with horrible marigolds which looked quite weedy so we didn't bother. I had a mooch round because I am still looking for something for Ann's birthday parcel, but didn't see anything at all suitable. So, Vin treated us to a coffee in their restaurant, which was really busy today. Full of old ladies who were stuffing themselves. Looked like a coach party. The last time we went there it was quiet and loads of free spaces, what a difference a few days makes. So we left there with nothing today. very rare we come out of there wioth no purchases at all!
Quite surprised on the journey at the numbers of blossom trees in full bloom at the moment. really pretty just now, Not as warm as it was yesterday, fairly blowy and looked like rain although the sun has just come out.
Tonight we are having:
Pasta of some sort,
Tomatoey sauce with mushrooms
Butternut squash
Garlic bread for Vin
