Day of rest

This week seems to have been quite a bit busier than expected, so I am pleased to say that Sunday was much more sedate.

This morning we hitched the trailer to the car and headed down in to town* and parked outside Mummy Sheila's residence. Sheila is redecorating her lounge and we agreed to help her lift her carpet and take it to the local tip later on in the week.

We were finished and back home shortly after ten. The trailer was unhitched and wheeled in to the carport and the rest of the morning was spent pottering.

In the afternoon 30% had planned a trip to Rowberry's Nursery. Apparently Sheila is looking for an Hibiscus and was hoping that she would find the perfect one at the Nursery. Unfortunately she didn't, but we did find some beautiful Salvias and a fabulous red leaved banana plant.** Sheila insisted that the banana plant should be a present, for our assistance with the carpet. It now takes pride of place in the greenhouse.

We were home by mid afternoon and my blood sugar had plummeted. I responded to this medical emergency by stuffing an almond croissant and several peanut M&Ms down my throat, before taking a long nap on the sofa.

The early evening saw us take the dogs for a walk around the recently harvested fields uphill from the cottage. It was a lovely walk in the evening sun and the dogs had a great time exploring the hedgerows and stubble.

* This is an unfunny witticism we deliver regularly, now we have moved away from the village. Any visit to the village centre is referred to as "going in to town".

** We also found lovely little Mimosa plant that is now sat on a shelf in the greenhouse. Back in 2018 30% and I found a huge Mimosa bush when we were holidaying in Costa Rica. I brought some seeds home, and actually managed to get them to germinate, but the little plants didn't survive very long.
