Happy birthday, Arlene. Sorry you've been unwell. All those lovely plants/flowers couldn't help but cheer you up and a meal out as well, brilliant. All you need now is some warmer weather. Take care.

thanks everyone! Feeling a bit better now but there was a chill wind blowing in from Cardiff bay when we left so had a few days with a sore throat too~Manuka honey seems to be doing the trick!~ and the paracetamol!
The new shopping centre is really nice with malls similar to Blue water but we didn't see everything~always an excuse to go back when we go to the flower show in two weeks time!~ my daughter and husband bought me nice long line cardi's in M and S just in time for me to ditch my mac ~ hopefully!
