I FELT A LITTLE BETTER THIS SUNDAY THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT MY FRIENDS.
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK I WOULD NEVER GET OVER MY JET LAG THAT IT WOULDN'T END.
SO I DECIDED I FANCIED TO GO OUT A RIDE SOMEWHERE IN THE CAR.
TO A GARDEN CENTRE ABOUT FIVE MILES AWAY WHICH ISN'T VERY FAR.
I WANDERED AROUND AND PONDERED JUST WHAT TO BUY WHILST THERE.
I CAME ACROSS THESE COLOURFUL CYCLAMENS AGES I STOOD AND STARED.
HUNDREDS ALL IN MIXED COLOURS BUT I CANNOT KEEP THESE AT ALL.
AS SOON AS I PUT THEM WHEREVER AT HOME THE LEAVES THEY BEGIN TO FALL.
AS YOU KNOW BY NOW KATH HAS GREEN FINGERS BUT THIS IS ONE PLANT I CARN'T GROW.
SO I PASSED THEM BY AND CARRIED ON SAYING I BETTER NOT GET ONE NO.
I TOOK THIS PICTURE BELOW OF THIS TOWER FILLED UP WITH PANSIES GALORE.
YES I MIGHT BUY ONE OF THOSE I THOUGHT IT MIGHT SAVE ME THE CHORE.
OF HAVING TO PLANT THEM ALL MYSELF INTO AN EMPTY TUB.
SO I CARRIED ON WALKING WITH THAT IN MIND AND THEN CHOSE TWO EVERGREEN SHRUBS.
I POPPED IN MY WHEELBARROW ALSO TWO PUNNETS OF PANSIES AND MORE.
I FOUND IT HARD TO CHOOSE WHICH COLOURS AS THERE WAS SO MANY TO EXPLORE.
A LARGE BAG OF COMPOST WAS NEEDED AS I NEVER USE THE OLD AT ALL.
MY POTS AND CONTAINERS ALL BACK HOME WERE STERALISED READY FOR FALL.
LOVELY HEATHERS I SPOTTED THEN PURPLES AND PINKS AND BLUES.
WHOEVER LIKES THESE THEY HAD A GOOD CHOISE I WOULDN'T KNOW WHICH TO CHOOSE.
WELL I PAID THE LADY AT THE CHECKOUT AND OFF WE WENT I WAS THRILLED.
HERE IS MY PARTNER FILLING THE BOOT UP THE BACK SEAT WAS ALREADY FILLED. HE-HE..
WE BOTH HAD A WHEELBARROW FULL UP BY THE TIME THAT I CAME OUT.
I HAD CHOSEN ALSORTS OF THIS AND THAT BOUGHT THEM ALL UP JUST ABOUT HE-HE.
ON THE JOURNEY BACK HOME I FELT PECKISH SO I SAW THERE IN A LAYBYE.
MY FAVOURITE PLACE FOR A LITTLE BREAK A CUPPA I WANTED AND FRY. .HE-HE.
THIS LADIES A LAUGH AND SHE IS A GOOD COOK MAKING SARNIES OF EVERY KIND.
SO WE PULLED ALONGSIDE AND ORDERED ONE YES BACON I HAD IN MIND.
TWO LARGE MILKY COFFEE'S I ENJOY THEM MORE OUTSIDE.
I LOVE TO DO THIS ON A SUMMERS DAY AROUND THE COUNTRYSIDE.
IT WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL OCTOBER DAY LIKE SUMMER AND OH SO HOT.
AFTER EATING WE TRAVELLED ON HOME AGAIN AND I GOT CHANGED TO GO AND POT.
ALL MY NEW PLANTS OUT INTO THE TUBS AND A COUPLE WERE PASSING BY.
"GOOD AFTERNOON" THEY BOTH SAID TO US AND SPOTTED THE PLANTS WITH THERE EYE.
OH YOUR MAKING IT LOOK SO LOVELY WE HAVE COME TO THIS SEASIDE FOR YEARS.
AND WE NOTICED AS SOON AS WE CAME THIS YEAR HOW MUCH DIFFERANT THIS SPOT IS IT CHEERS.
OH! THANKYOU I SAID I LOVE TO POTTER AND IV'E MISSED MY GARDEN BACK HOME.
BUT I DIDN'T START TO RABBIT ON AND GRUMBLE TO THEM AND MOAN.
WELL WE CHATTED THIS AND WE CHATTED THAT AS I PLANTED THE BASKETS AND SO.
THE TIME IT FLEW BY VERY QUICKLY AND THEN THEY HAD TO GO.
IT WAS WELL TURNED SIX 'CLOCK BY NOW BUT AS THE SAYING GOES.
TIME FLIES BY WHEN YOU ARE ENJOYING YOURSELF AND KATH WAS FOR CERTAIN HO! HO!!.
POTTING UP ALL MY TUBS AGAIN FOR THE WINTER THANK GOODNESS THATS DONE.
AND THE COUPLE THEY WERE A LAUGH A MINUTE SO I ALSO HAD SOME FUN.
I THEN SETTLED DOWN TO WATCH POP IDOL AS I LOVE TO SEE NEW TALENT FOUND.
EATING OUR LATE DIINER Mmm DELICIOUS THEN THE TIME CAME AROUND.
TO CATCH UP ONLINE AGAIN ON ALERTS AND SEE WHAT YOU ALL HAD TO SAY.
BEFORE I KNEW IT I WAS FALLING ASLEEP BUT I'D HAD A BEAUTIFUL DAY.
TODAY I AM GOING TO DO SOME SEWING SO THE MACHINE WILL BE BUZZING AWAY.
WHILE I MAKE A NICE FRILL FOR THE TOP OF MY WINDOW IN VOILE WITH FLOWERS GAY.
THEN I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE SOME TRANSFERS FOR MY KITCHEN TILES.
I AM GOING TO DO CHERRIES LOVELY BRIGHT RED ONES A WARM COLOUR FOR A WHILE.
I FOUND A LARGE PICTURE ON THE NET AND THEN I PRINTED THEM OFF.
CUT AROUND THEM ALL QUITE NEAT AND PLACED THEM ON MY WORKTOP.
HERE IS ONE I HAVE FINISHED JUST TO SHOW WHAT I MEAN.
HAND MADE TRANSFERS FOR MY TILES BY THIS OLD PENSIONER KATHLEEN. HAAAAAAA.
THERE COVERED IN TRANSPARENT BACK CONTACT SO I CAN WASH THEM CLEAN .
WHEN I DO THE TILES EACH WEEK THEN THEY WILL SHINE AND GLEAM HE-HE.
I KNOW THE TILES ARE'NT THE MODERN ONES BUT FOR THIS OLD GIRL THEY'LL DO. .
AS LONG AS THERE CLEAN THATS THE MAIN THING AND IT'S CHEAPER THAN HAVING TO RE-NEW.
ALL MY THINGS IN THE KITCHEN ARE RED SO THEY'LL ALL MATCH AND BLEND IN.
MY SHINEY CHROME SUMMER UTENSILS AND THINGS ARE ALL NOW PACKED AWAY.
WHILST SUMMER COMES ON ROUND AGAIN AND I'LL GET THEM BACK OUT ONE DAY.
I LIKE WARM COLOURS FOR WINTER TIME AND NOW IV'E JUST BOUGHT THE BIN.
I THOUGHT I WOULD BUY TH ELARGE ONE THEN LOTS MORE I CAN FIT IN.
