My girls picked me up very early this morning and took me to the garden centre , I came out with 6 plants to fill in gaps where other plants died in the wet winter, we had a coffee and a lovely chat without any interruptions.  When I got home I tried to plant the new plants but even after all the rain the earth was like concrete so I left the hose running for a  a while then managed to dig the holes and pop them in.
 

Diane we have got our heating on, ridiculous for this time of the year, good news about your hip.
I had a lovely day with my girls at the Garden centre , I came out with a trolley load of plants ones I have never grown  before so it will interesting to see if they survive.


 

Good morning, we had gale force winds last night the garden looks like a disaster zone!  I am just hoping everything will ping back to like, I have been out and staked a lot of the taller plants , I think it looks worse than it is as there are so many leaves everywhere and the grass is a bit burnt but that will grow back.

Muddles I bought  a Sisyrinhium,  a Rhodanthemum ,Coreopsis and a few Scabious.

Good morning, Pippa is in hospital she was taken in last night, they are not sure what is going on but have not ruled out a heart attack which is very scary. I am not going in yet her sister is going to pop in and see her for a few minutes but there are so many Dr's in and out of her room and scans etc going on that Pippa said to wait to see what happens, she could only talk in a whisper as she is so tired .

Hello everyone.

Just back from a jolly to Plymouth.  

I went out at 9.45 today to catch the bus towards Plymouth, meeting up with a couple of friends and deciding on the bus whether to go by bus or train.  We decided train and all was well - the bus turned up the train turned up and we ended up in Plymouth, getting wet as we came out of the station, but luckily it soon dried up.  So we had a trawl round and some lunch and then headed back to the station.  Got on the wrong train (heading to Leeds) finding out in time to get off and get on the correct train.  Arrive back at the station to find there had been a serious accident just outside the station and the road was shut ... so no bus / taxi anything in or out.  So we caught the next train back to the next town and walked into town and caught the next bus home with a diversion.  Getting home eventually.   I was out of the house for 9.1/4 hours and my hips are screaming at me!!!v Over 13,000 walking hither and thither and we didn't really shop that much.  Always a blinking story to tell with our transport.  So today we would have been better plumping for the bus.
