Thursday.

 

Photo of 18th century house nearby, that is rapidly being overgrown in all directions, but (despite or because of this) still manages to look charming. This morning motored over to Corncraft- nearby craft centre, garden shop, restaurant, etc., where we met up with friends Terry and Diana, and had lunch - we all decided on chicken and mushroom pie with vegetables, and very nice it was, too. It's getting to be a very popular place.We got there first at midday and found there was only one table available, so we bagged it and lingered over coffee until the others arrived. I'm afraid we then lingered over lunch, and finally left at about 2.30 p.m. We then went over to Sudbury, did some grocery shopping at Waitrose, bought a bottle of black ink for the printer on this machine (which drinks the stuff), then went on to the scruffiest and best of the garden centres in this area (it is really the large garden of a bungalow, where the owner keeps a very large selection of plants at very reasonable prices, about a third of what one would expect to pay at a nearby Wyevale Garden Centre). We bought some bedding plants, fuchsias,etc. Got home about 5pm feeling that we'd had a busy day. been pottering in the workshop since then -fairly productively. Must knock off soon for supper. Goodnight all.
