BASKETTCASE

Yesterday we went to Seiont nurseries near Caernarvon.  We last went there with Rose but the memories were all good.  Dave's idea in suggesting it was their millburgers at their Mill Cafe.  Sheila and Bob wanted to look again at large pots to go under the front windows on a bed of slate chippings, where Sheila has decided not to battle with the strip of garden any more. As well as having a very nice leisurely lunch we did a bit of shopping.  We bought strawberry plants with fruit already ripening, and Bob and Sheila got carried away with a thornless blackberry, a gooseberry bush and numerous kinds of thyme for the herb  garden.  Then we had to get them home!





If you  look carefully you will see that the parcel shelf travelled between my knees while Sheila was in control of the blackberry.

In the evening Dave went with Roy and Dav to Dav's Rugby training.  He is out of action for playing at the moment with an ankle injury, but had some physio.  Sheila, Bob and I had a peaceful evening watching TV which was walks in the Gower and then canal walks in Avon and Kennett, followed by the history of the restoration of the inland waterways.  All very interesting in view of our booked holiday with Steve and Kate on the Four Counties ring, and a great way to walk dozens of miles!

The weather is not good although so far it is not raining today.  Selfishly, I am hoping a share of the rain we have been getting is falling on my garden in Norfolk!
