We were up and out before 10:00 am yesterday for a coffee morning at one of the Hotels on the Esplanade Prom.. We arrived just after 10.. said hello and looked around as to where we were to sit.. there wasn't really any room where a lot of people already sitting, unless we squashed around a corner.. we sat on another table.. It felt horrid, we weren't with the main crowd, so cancelled our coffee order and left. That was very hard for Dh, but it didn't bother me one bit, it didn't suit us so why stay?
So I walked all the way back down the main town street, more than I've walked all week! I bet my little legs will be sore today after all that walking.
We ended up in our favourite coffee shop, warm, inviting and very good coffee. They're into Valentine's day already!
And then we met my mother's cousin, I was one of her bride maid's. It was nice to see her and we had a good chat and catch up.
So then, as the sun was shining we did a couple of hours work in the garden in the afternoon, one flower bed done! And all the pots weeded, the bulbs are all looking very good. I can't wait for spring, we already have loads of daffodils in bloom.
Isn't it lovely to see the sun?

I understand about leaving, we have donne the same thing. Why stay if what you were looking for wasnt there?
Unbelievable that you can get into your gardens already! Here, we are still blanketed with several inches of snow, and more expected on Friday.
Sounds like a good day and you still had a nice cup of coffee. We had sunshine on Sunday and it was lovely!
It is important to be flexible and able to change plans easily. It's good to see signs of lengthening, warming days, too.
Making the change to go somewhere else sounds like it turned out to be the best choice all the way around. Very enjoyable for the three of you in the end.
Loads of daffodils! You are way ahead of us. Everything here is under layer of ice and snow. :(
You leaving the café reminded me of the time we went shopping in a supermarket that was overcrowded and I just wasn't feeling it so I said let's go, hubby wasn't too pleased about leaving a trolly full of stuff but It didn't bother me, (I did leave it with an assistant on the shop floor so the stuff could be put back). It was nice here yesterday too, although today is dark and rainy.
Good for you for finding the right atmosphere. We have 2+feet of snow on the ground so no gardening except dreaming about it.

We had a sunny day and managed a walk! So lovely!
"Isn't it lovely to see the sun?"
It certainly is ... makes such a difference.
All the best Jan
Sounds like a lovely day. I would have left too. :)
The sun was out here too but still very cold and all the ground is snow covered.
It was so very nice to see the sun though!!!
It's good to have a choice of cafes so if one is full you can trot on to another. I'm a bit jealous of all the dafodills. A lot of flowers have to be imported for weddings and funerals mainly from S. Africa. I was in an air-conditioned room at art class today (it's always too low) so the warmth was wonderful stepping outside. Enjoy the sun.
