Sunny but brrr

The wind is making it feel chilly out, I have the heating off and the windows open, give the place an airing.

We had a very good visit to the garden centre, the small plant house is full just now. I need to go through the pots and get them ready to plant up, I discovered a lily growing in one pot yesterday, I need to skim the top 3" of compost off and back fill it. There were a couple of plants I could not get, will wait a couple of weeks and try again, they are very well priced. I need lupins and foxglove as well as a hollyhock. I am also considering getting one of the Italian conifers that grow to a point rather than bush out, I need a focal point in the border. I can take the growing tip out so it stays small.

Bed stripped and in the washer, will dry outside, I also need to clear the car ready for tomorrow. It will be a sad parting she has been part of our lives for 13 years and carried us safely on some long trips with the caravan.

Supper tonight, cold chicken. I am about to put a loaf of bread on, running out of bread for sandwiches.
