Bit of luck !

15 comments


Hi all I’m just crowing a bit as we went to the garden centre today to buy a couple of shrubs, and they had some small ones on offer, buy 4 or more for £3-50 each so we bought 5. Admittedly there only about 45 cms high but they will grow ( I hope ) they are :-
Eucalyptus gunnii, Crinodendron Hookerianum,
Prunus incisa Kojo-no-mai, Callicarpa bodinieri Profusion,
and an Azalea Geisha Purple, really pleased with them. Not only that we went to the Harvester for lunch had our starter and main, just ordered our Sundae and the fire alarm went off and everyone had to get out, we waited for a while and said to one of the waiters what about paying, and he said don’t worry about it go on home, so that’s exactly what we did. All in all not a bad day, Roy.
