Finally!!

There has been a bit of a break in the weather and a bit of sunshine has appeared in a blue ssky. After all of the rain we have had recently very welcome it is too.
At last Vin was able to give the new barrel its coat of varnish to go with the black paint he put on the metal rims ages ago now. He wasn't sure whether the varnish would be a quick drying one or not, but it appears that it might be, so this afternoon he ha gone out to give it a second coat. 
We are planning to go to Dobbies tomorrow because we need a few things from there and also look for a few plants to go round the edge of the barrel too. He has got a new little conifer, a dwarf one for the middle like the last one we had, but that got a bit big in the end and has now been put in the back garden. Start again, all fresh and new. Should look good.  Might have a look at hanging baskets but not too sure about those, they are getting a bit dear there, we shall see. 
Little Jessie spent most of the morning in the front room, suppose it is nice and quiet there but she did rouse hersself at lunchtime, enough to come in and start picking at the carpet!!  Wonder if she did that in her previous posh house down the road in the big house zone?

Jessie looking like little miss innocent! but, there is devilment in those claws.  Watch out you might not get any cream from the cream cake! 
I might add at this point that the cake we have is just a small portion and lasts us for four days.(and the cat as wello)
