Bulbs and Coffee!

Nipped out to Sainsbury's this morning mainly to get a pack of cappuccino coffees for the machine. We were going to have one yesterday but found we had run out, and we had the new stencil that we were dying to try ou! So, it was a quick trip out to Crosby. The idea was to get a few bits from there and then go to the garden centre over the way to get some miniature daffodil bulbs for the barrel at the front of the house. Got our free half hour parking, and did a bit os shopping, bit disappointed at the lack of stock though ! Anyway, on our way out, after having our groceries thrown down the conveyor belt by the checkout assistant, and my Nectar card thrown at me, we paid and were going out. Then Vin spotted a display of bulbs that we had missed earlier, so went back in. Got a lovely bag of fifteen bulbs for £5 nice little miniature mixed daffodils etc., so were well pleased. Didn't need to go to the garden centre and wended our way home for our coffee instead.
Got a nice letter from john and Ann today, with a photo of their new car. Looks really good..a Hyaundai Oddyssey..which is an estate type looking car and very smart. They sent Vin a pair of leather gardening gloves, very nice they are too as a belated birthday present, and there is a little present for Jane in it too. Must do a bit more of their letter which I tend to do in fits and starts.
Tonight we are having:
Gruyere cheese escalope
Remaining veggies that we have left,
Baby potatoes baked in the oven
Cheese sauce to go with the veggies.
