. . . yesterday, but what a joy to see beautiful views in places (see new header photo) and the wild flowers were stunning. Meadowsweet, the lovely purple-blue Meadow Cranesbill, Musk Mallow, Common Mallow, masses of my favourite wildflower, Purple Tufted Vetch. (I must get some seeds and sow it here in my wild flower patch). Knapweed, Honeysuckle, Agrimony, yellow Kidney Vetch, pink and white Clovers, Rosebay Willowherb, Betony, Yarrow and Umbellifers. Just glorious.
I stopped in Tesco to get some lunch on the way home, and some Magnesium tablets as nearly out of them, and they do help sleep, as well as heart function. Part of my lunch I had at tea - a little tray of pre-cut Mango, which went down very well.
I stopped at Chris Thomas, the greengrocery warehouse, in Abergwili too, but didn't buy much because my time was spoken for over the next few days. Just some raspberries (one tray in the freezer and one to bake Raspberry Muffins with today - £1 per tray), two huge cooking apples at 20p each, and 4 luscious Nectarines.
Back at home, Pam came round to off load health worries, and we sorted out the loose leg/stretcher on the little chair - it was the one I glued the other day - clearly not well enough. Then after tea (Kedgeree), I oiled the little thing on wheels. I was researching this online and they were a "thing" - though not sure of their actual purpose yet, but possibly a service trolley, though this appears to have been upholstered at some point in its life! A little one with a wooden top with a triangulated end was listed for £225 on line!! Mine will seem a real bargain :) I need to set to and Bri-wax it after breakfast.
I will get my walk in early and then pack the car, before finally potting on the blardy tomatoes which are looking distinctly peaky in their too small pots.
Beautiful new header photo.
ReplyDeleteI guess having more room than you thought at the unit is better than less even if it does mean an extra trip there and back.
As we used to say when selling second hand books - you can't sell what no one can see.
Yes, pleased with that photo, huge though it is as a header! Yes, I will shoehorn LOTS in now. Thank heavens I don't have the dozens of little bits of - largely unwanted - china that so many stalls have in places like this. "You can't sell what no one can see" - absolutely spot on, and with doing only the two big Fairs a year where I can show more of what is hidden in the stables in boxes, I stand more chance of moving stuff on.
