Yesterday I was up bright and early and into Hitchin by 10 past 9. I popped into Wilkinsons for shampoo and La Maison Blanc for a browse and to see if they had any other glass jars. They did and I bought it, will take a pic later :) I have moved my crochet flowers into it and am using my sweetie jar for ribbon. I also bought some plants from the guy at the market and had a little shop at the mediteranian food stall too.
Then is we off to the garden centre were I bought more plants, 3 terracotta pots and a jar of toffees. The toffees are going to work and the jar is already full of ribbon. I now have all my ribbon divided up into type, and on the shelf :) Totally love the colour inspiration.
When I got home I started to work in the garden. All, but one, of my new plants are in the ground, the greenhouse is bursting and flourishing. I bought a parsley which is in one of the new pots, one is going to be for chives and the third I will use to grow lettuce, just two or three at a time.
I mowed the back lawn, which thankfully Stu did two weeks back so it wasn't too long. But the side of the house was at least calf hight, so FLIPPIN difficult to cut. Took me hours and my body ached from top to toe. {Actually it aches like heck still!!}
As it was such a beautiful day, we had a bbq last night, although by the time the food was cooked it was a bit chilly so we ate inside.
Poppy came round to see me to ask me if I would make the remembrance cards for Rons funeral. Of course I said yes, so went to see her this morning with my laptop and we planned it. I now just have to get the paper and print a few for her to see and proof.
She is so strong. But you can see the heartache in her eyes. I wish I could take her pain.
This morning we finished tiling the kitchen, woo hoo!! It is looking so lovely. Over this coming week I need to give them another seal and then next weekend we can grout. And next saturday we will pop into Howdens to get the two additional cupboards and possibly all the cupboard doors, and the plinths. Then I can rub the walls down, fill the holes and paint. SO we could be looking at having the kitchen complete by end of bank holiday weekend!! Thanksfully at no point have we been living in a building site. With every stage of work the kitchen has been cleaned and usable afterwards. Photos to follow.
The reason, by the way, that i'm not aking photos of anything now, is because I have been dropping everything I pick up this afternoon. I'd hate to drop my camera!!
Hope you have all had a great weekend!
Ciao
