Turning My Fingers From White To Green!

Ducking for apples.Change one letter and it's the story of my life - Dorothy Parker

I made sure of no long lie-in today.

The alarm went off at 8am.....

Tea with hugs time↓

Breakfast.

Got dressed.

Nipped out to get the newspaper↓

Tesco Express was closed for stocking the shelves until 10am.

We went further down the road to get the newspapers.

We then sat in the garden to enjoy the sunshine and coffee.

My plants are flowering really nice this year!

My good friend couldn't find any self raising flour anywhere.

I filled up a large jar with a little bag of Baking powder.

We left a good 2 meters apart when he came round to collect the flour.

We had a good chin wag.

He left.

We had a important meet over some things for the garden....

Woo hoo the bargains I got...

The plastic shelving unit is now in the back garden...

The plants will be put in the garden later↓

Off to do this week's shopping from Lidl.

We were only a handful wearing face coverings in there...

I was glad to get out.

Back home to unload the shopping.

Light lunch time↓

Gardening gloves time!

I made room for the plants under the Cherry and Apple Trees.

Dunelm store is only open for call and collect.

I have ordered something to fill the space at the back of the garden.

Collection tomorrow.

I found out what the bush is called in my garden↓

Goat Willow

We had a teabreak at 4pm↓

Once I had planted everything.
(I have room for more plants.....
I will have to get more compost tomorrow!)

I was in the shower first...

It's going to get hot hot hot up to Wednesday.

Plenty of time to enjoy the garden.

Now for our evening meal...

Gammon with well done sweet potato chips.

I caught up with this weekend's newspapers...
