I love that word mooch! it sort of conjures up connotations of browsing or delving into the unknown regions of the stores. We went over to Taskers in Aintree this morning. it must be years since we have been there. It is a huge shop which sells everything for the home and the garden ( but not animal huts!). Vin wanted to get two plant pots for two spirea plants that are in good condition but are living in cracked pots. The pots went in the bad winters we have had, so needed replacing. he has been looking in the garden centres, particularly the two main ones that we go to for our free coffees, but they are on the expensive side, I thought that they had some reasonable ones because we used to go there years ago when we first had the garden paved over.
Fairly quiet with not a huge number of cars in the car park and not a hge number of people there either. We had a really good look at the plant pots, i didn't want plastic ones, i hate them, and actually they are quite dear for what they are anyway. We saw some that looked ok but Vin was a bit worried that they wouldn't be big enough. he had measured the old ones and decided that if he chopped off some of the roots they would be fine. We had a little bit of a mooch in the store which is really big and spread out, then went to their coffee shop for an Americano and a biscuit. very nice area too. Went back to get the pots which are really nice actually, and a fairly reasonable £16.99. So, job done!
The garden is looking nice at the moment. He has worked well on it. I have just spent ages trying to find the pictures but can't get them anywhere. Given up now.
try again when I have a bit more time.
Tonight we are having:
Cheesey kievs maybe..
Jersey Royals sliced and sauteed,
mixed veggies
Maybe a mushroom sauce.
