A morning well spent. I nipped down into town first thing to get a loaf of bread from the Bakery (one called Norfolk Goose Back from the shape and the Norfolk flour used). Two hunks of that with ham were breakfast. I collected my new Spacer for my inhalers from Boots, and went to the fruit and veg stall on the Groe carpark for a cucumber and some apples - they had lovely big Russets, so half a dozen of those are in my fruit bowl now. That stall is the total sum of our local Market!
Then it was into the greenhouse and get rid of the dead/dieing tomato and cucumber plants, and recycle their compost, sweep the floor and have a tidy up.
Finally, up to the orchard and cut the grass back around half a dozen apple trees, and mulch them with stable manure. 6 more to go, and the rest of the soft fruit area.
Whilst looking for navy print fabrics earlier, I had a moment's inspiration and went to look on line at Calico Kates, the Lampeter shop which is far too tempting top visit more than annually. She had exactly what I was looking for in a Moda range called Clover Blossom Farm. I will look for it more cheaply elsewhere as it is priced at £16 a metre! Meanwhile, I found a print which would do on Ebay and which is far cheaper, so ordered a metre which is less than £6 including postage. Just checked, and Doughty's in Hereford have it, but it is still £14.49 a metre. Still not cheap.
Now, upstairs to my sewing room and get cracking on unfinished quilts!
