I had an early start today and drove through the mountains to to and keep Rosie amused whilst Tam caught up with lots of jobs that needed doing but were impossible to tackle with a busy toddler underfoot. We had a lovely day, and Rosie was a hoot. She has now learned the meaning of "no" from her viewpoint, and when asked if she wanted a drink, said "no" firmly; "do you want this top on now?" "NO!". Here she is deciding that the avocado she normally goes wild for, was NOT what she wanted for lunch today . . . The bruise on her forehead, btw, came from her falling off a seat at the Child Minder's.
Title for the photo has to be, "Really?!" Later on Tam had a very late lunch and it turned out THAT was what really wanted (not given because it might be too salty for her) - gnocchi with thinly sliced sausage and spinach. She liked THAT!
On the way back I stopped at B&M Bargains for a new storage box as one had got broken. I also popped in Charlies, and bought a yellow Lupin, really well grown, for just £4.99. I have some I have grown from seed but they aren't very big yet. I took Tam three and one is putting out a flower already. We transplanted them straight away into bigger pots - I took her half a dozen of the ones I bought at auction recently.
My usual pull in for a photo captured this view.
Right, time to wash my hair as the pollen was very bad today and my strong antihistamine only just holding it at bay. It will be all over my face and hair from driving along with the window open as it was so hot. Farmers making hay all round Aberystwyth too.
The garden photo by the way, I find pleasing, as when we came here there was just lawn everywhere (apart from shrubs on the bank.) SO that's all my own work.
