The weather was pretty good today, just the odd shower here and there so I went to Nantwich and after a good mooch round I enjoyed the company of a very good friend who shared her yummy home-made soup with me – we hadn’t seen each other for ages so there was lots of catching up to do and the time just ran away so I was on the way back home before I knew it, and in the dark.
 

Now I’m in the kitchen and even I have to have to have a chair to stand on to reach on top of the cupboards to get a cooking pot down.   I used to have Hops all along here but they've disintegrated so I've had a Spring clean and replaced them with some lovely bright Statice.
