Santas with skis waiting for homes?

Today was so much warmer over 12C so I decided to go to the Garden Centre to get a few plants to replace those in our porch and a few for the back garden in pots too. 

The garden centre car park was full but most people were in the cafe or buying gifts, very few buying plants. I bought some cyclamens and some primroses and then had a quick look at the Christmas decorations etc. I thought the row of Santas looked jolly though I would not buy one myself . £29.99 is quite a lot so I suspect they may not all sell.

We had intermittent rain showers but I did manage to plant all the purchases and a quick dog walk. Very dreary though outside.

We actually had a big batch of post today, a dozen or so Christmas cards and some business letters too. Good to read newsletters from people we have not seen this year.
