Pausing to draw breath

Day two of the holiday, and all is well. We are actually managing not to cram too much work in to our time off - we might have been hard at it in the garden, but the weather is not in fact all that marvelous, so we are just doing little bits. The ritual trip to the Garden Centre yesterday (everyone goes at Easter - it's the new church!) Various other chores, and then had to go to the Post Office this morning with a load of eBay parcels. So we celebrated by trying out the latest new cafe (actually, cafe-bar) in town, and it is a really good one! You wouldn't think that one small town could support so many eating places, but we have something like fifteen or sixteen now, and all seem to be flourishing. This new one is waaaay up at the top of my list, great atmosphere, with jazz-type music playing, good food, nice wine, fun place. Especially as it is owned/run by twins, which is very disconcerting after a large glass of Chardonnay......

My second indulgent lunch in a couple of days, met Nanny Ogg and Freyalynn on Thursday, in Bradford, which was very nice, the meeting/lunch rather than Bradford. (Not that there is anything wrong with Brad...oh, never mind!) F in particular was loaded down with interesting and inexpensive jewellery from - Accessorize?? Which I looked at, and thought - I can make something like that. So that is what I am trying to get to today, but my nice lunch with the DSM, and then a possibly ill-advised attempt (successful, though) at erecting a mini-??greenhouse. Well, we only cracked one bit of plastic..... and then, I was unable to refuse the lure of putting more stuff up on eBay, which takes more time that you might expect. But being able to de-clutter and make a little money gets addictive.

OK, so I was waxing lyrical about primroses:



Photos of stuff I have created in a day or two, I hope. But tomorrow it's York and mama, who has agreed to going to a Thai restaurant for lunch. Could be interesting....Still, you have to credit her with not giving up, and still being a game old bird.
