The red light

We had arranged to pick up some more plants from Chris and Mike's today. They live not too far from IKEA, so we decided to pop in to buy some storage units and a bathroom cabinet. Bad idea! Of course there's no such thing as 'popping in' to IKEA, and it's Sunday, when it seems as though many families 'make a day of it' there.

We emerged with the two items we went for (and only those two things - amazing), but somewhat later than anticipated. After a picnic lunch eaten in the van, and a drive through traffic hell, we eventually made to to Chris and Mike's for a very welcome cup of tea before MrM loaded the plants in to the van.

Home in time for a short evening walk. The light was fading and the red light came on at the top of Victoria Tower on Castle Hill.
