And home

We spent Tuesday morning walking around Saville gardens on the edge of Windsor great park, which also has loads of woodland areas, some of the gardens were past their prime, the rose garden was going over, still pretty.

Lots of lovely high hedges hiding beautiful gardens
This menace was stealing bits from plates, there were 5 of them in the outside cafe area. 
I could not resist the plant section, these are already planted after a good soak, nice strong plants at a very cheap price £17.50 for all five of these.


It was a lovely morning before driving home, we picked up a very happy Lilly, she leaped into her cat carrier, and once home did a couple tours of our garden, it does feel good to be home.

I watered my garden on Tuesday evening, I enjoyed being outside after a few hours in the car. Wednesday was a lazy day at home, I finished the book for my brother, it will be here within 2 weeks, I always use the same publisher, I like the quality of the books. 

Thursday we had a plumber here, we have a damp spot in one corner of our downstairs bathroom, which was worse last winter, it was suggested we replace the small towel radiator for a tall thin radiator, to help heat the wall, it's an internal wall, the corner is by the outside wall. Most of the day was wet and dull, not huge amounts of rain, and very windy.

Friday we got up to a wet garden, a bit more rain overnight, not so windy, we went to our favourite garden centre and met daughter and her three, George had an inset day from school and Will whilst feeling a bit better was not at school, he was sent home on Monday feeling unwell. Plants were purchased, of course, they will be in the ground soon.
