I Like A Bit Of Casual Alcoholism...
This morning I was greeted by a friendly frost outside my window. It is actually the first piece of winter white I have seen since I have been here. The blue sky peaked out of the clouds for a few hours, and made our trip to Trentham very enjoyable. Lynne and I left the house around 11am for a wonderful day of shopping and errands. Our first stop was the local pet store, "Pets A Home". Of course I couldn't help but splurge on items for the cats, which I am sure they will love. Our next stop was the Trentham Gardens. There are actual English gardens there, but Lynne and I have yet to visit them. It would not be at all in bloom at this time of the year anyway. Along with the gardens, there is an area of outdoor shopping that we lingered through all afternoon. We headed home around 3:30pm, but made a quick stop at the allotment to pick up some vegetables to go with our pies for dinner. While there I met a very nice local gardener named Terry. While this day remanded very quite, I do hope Jess and I will be able to go to Shrewsbery tomorrow (there is a forecast of snow and rain). Keep your fingers crossed!!

Who is Terry? I don't get the title of today's entry. Was the carousel working? I love carousels, so it is always nice to have Everett with me for a reasonable excuse to get to ride. :)
ReplyDeleteTerry is another gardener at the allotment. The title of todays entry was suggested by one of Jess's friends and the carousel works, but was not going yesterday.
