Out for a Jolly

Having read yesterday that a local to us garden centre was open and had plants ready for sale, we decided to go this morning. It was sunny but the wind chill is something else, especially on top of the hill where the garden centre is based. 

I ended up spending £54 on plants for the baskets and tubs, DB also bought some veg plants as well. We had lined the boot of the car with plastic to protect the inside of the boot. I had the old quilted throw in the washer, we carry it in the car as well as a bag with fleece blankets and cushions. Be prepared has always been our motto, especially when we lived in Scotland.

Back home the washer was finished so the quilt is on the line, it should dry. All the bedding plants are in the little plant house until the chance of frost is over, need to remember to water them every couple of days especially if its warm.

I have decided to go to Aldi after we pick the car up on Tuesday, it will save me a visit later in the week. We need to remember to change the shopping bags etc over from the old car.

I have the veg to prep for supper, we are having roast crown of chicken with all the trimmings, there should be enough chicken for supper tomorrow, or for sandwiches at lunchtime.
