Well, what's a girl to do - an afternoon off, good weather and payday less than a day away? A no-brainer really and before I had chance to get stuck into mundane housework I found myself in the garden centre. Bit of a shock then when the member of staff I passed called out, "Blimey, you're here more than I am".
I found two great tall verbenas which were reduced to two pounds a piece (they had many broken stems but wait till next year) and a handy Alchemellia mollis for one pound. I toyed with the idea of two more roses for the front but denied myself (there is still the mortgage to pay) but got myself a white anemone to replace the pink one which I'll dig up and replant in the pastel border.
Just as I typed this up I looked out to see a big nuthatch on the peanuts - of course by the time I raced upstairs to get the camera for you it had flown off. I'll bide my time and get it sometime, never fear.
