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!

Yes, rain at night and sunshine during the day would be wonderful. I love your cups, very fun :)
A good day out... enjoy your mugs, they are very cheerful 😊
Sounds a nice way to spend the day. Love the mugs. So glad you have rain.
Rain at night is the best. We need some here too.
Love the mugs!
Lovely outing and evidently some much needed rain too. The 2 cups are really striking. The sea side pictures on them are so pretty. Hope your plum tree does well next season. It's fun to grow your own. Our apples have done well and the deer and squirrel and groundhog seem to get to them too fast.

Send some of that rain our way. We are sorely in need.
We need rain too. I would prefer it at night but we are so desperate for it, we’d take daytime deluges as well.
We have 3 plum trees…total harvest 3 plums, well 2.5 to be precise but I’m being generous! Hopefully more will follow in the years to come…please!
What lovely new mugs. We happily managed to miss two huge downpours yesterday. One happened while we were inside Mum's nursing home, and the next started just as we sat down for a coffee and a sandwich in a local café before setting off for home. My coat and brolly were in the car and Alan had brought neither with him.
I like your new mugs.
All the best Jan
