A drippy town visit, but we're happy!

 I'm taking a leaf out of  Angela's blog and in future any anonymous or unnamed comments will be deleted.

On Saturday's we like to go to town, just for a coffee and a mooch around. I wanted to see if the fruit shop had any Victoria plums, and it did! We do have a plum tree and did have some this year, one each!! But we have high hopes for next year, as it is a new tree. We will feed it and prune it where necessary and top dress the roots, it will have all our TLC!

We have been desperate for rain and we had some Thursday, in fact it was a deluge. We drove to the front prom and watched it come down like 'old women and sticks' from inside the car..Happy memories of the times we did that with Nell having a car picnic, which she loved so did we! Remembering the time we had cream puffs and the icing sugar on them floated off, all over us and her nose!

And on Saturday as we came out of Costa (new toilet code c2468z.) there were just a few spots of rain, so we hurried along, to the veg shop, and bought the plums, to the Spar for a TV times (its in the old Coliseum cinema) and then to the Kitchen shop, so Dh could buy me a new china mug, as he'd had a mishap in the kitchen. It is a lovely shop, one of the six Maple franchised shops and has beautiful china and bits, they all have wonderful gifts, or clothes, or jewelry, just amazing things and I think an asset to the town.

Of course we had to but two, pricy but worth it! The design by Clare Tupper, heard of her? Neither had I!

By that time the rain was a steady drizzle, no mac, and no umbrella, so we got wet walking back to the car. It didn't bother me because I didn't have to worry about getting my £27 hair do wet, because I just do it myself.. we did have to change our clothes when we got home and with a quick flash of our heating and a cuppa all was well.. The rain we were so desperate for has arrived! All I want now is, for it to rain at night and leave our days pleasantly dry!
