Silly mama, she's usually on top of what the house needs but when she went to put on a 'dark' wash this morning, there was no washing liquid for dark fabrics.
So that meant the plan for today changed, she dressed in proper clothes not gardening clothes, gathered up old WW - wicker wheelie trolley, her basket and set off for Lidl.
Instead of tramping over to Clapham Junction, she caught a C1 bus to White City and went to a jumbo sized Lidl.
And right inside the store, oh lookie lookie.. there were bulbs in pots! Lots and lots of potted up bulbs. But with no prices displayed so she took a pot over to a cashier and asked her to tell her the price.
89p for four or five Narcissi bulbs is a good price, so her basket was filled with as many pots that would fit and on she went to pick up what she was meant to be buying!
Only to come across the most perfect thing and which she could have certainly used this week, a proper pruning saw!
Wow.. what perfect timing for there are still six apple and pear trees that have to be pruned.
You'll be pleased to know she did remember to pick up the washing liquid before she left with all her swag!
What a good trip, the pruning saw was half the price of the one she had seen at Homebase earlier this week and the pots of Narcissi were £2.11 cheaper plus they had more bulbs in each pot.
Tomorrow she's meeting up with Debbie aka the Goaty Mum of Ellie's Dairy who will be at the Bute Street Farmer's Market in South Kensington.
They'll drink hot ginger with peppermint and put their worlds to right, she'll bring her goaty cheese back to put it into chilly white larder, then we will, as long as the weather is ok, go to the allotments.
Goodness me.. it is almost 8pm and we need a snacket of grapes and almonds, got to go folks, I'll be back soon.
GeeGee Parrot.
