It Was Partly Claire's Fault!

[debris4spike]

I knew I wouldn't be round on Thursday as Claire and I had planned a day out (photos to come) ... but I just totally overslept on Wednesday morning, so no real reason at all.

Thursday the plan had been for Claire to pick up a few large plants at the garden centre and then after lunch we were going to Killerton to see the Art Deco clothes. Yes, that's what we did, but we went to a different garden centre, and Claire couldn't get what she wanted. So I suggested that we went to the "normal" place the following morning ... which worked out OK.

So, yes we had a lovely Thursday, and extended it into Friday! After our trip to Killerton I drove back to their place then we walked into the city and met Tim for a meal. Then back to their place, and sat on their patio and had an ice-cream. I returned the following morning, and ended up with a car full of "greenery", before heading into work again in the evening.

This morning was nice and lazy, then I picked up some groceries before heading here.

I thought I would share a couple of photos of flowers from my garden, in apology ....







And, some icons. This set had a theme of "vibrant colour" and I decided that I would make them from M*A*S*H as the series colouring is basically khaki, so the opposite of vibrant!

1	2	3	4	5
6	7	8	9	10

As ever, all are snaggable, but credit would be appreciated. The credits are available over at my icon journal - d4s_icons


So it's Saturday, and obviously I won't be around tomorrow ... so ...





16. Do you know any sign language? Have you heard of Makaton?
Only “Thank You” … I see a few people who need signing, but sadly I have to hope they can read, or at least lip-read.

17. If you enjoy tea, how do you make it – with a teabag, with loose-leaf tea, in a mug or in a teapot?
Love, love, love.
White English Breakfast Tea, with full-fat milk, no sugar … strong … made in a teapot.
Black English Breakfast tea … very week … made in a mug.

18. Are you good at arranging cut flowers? Have you ever tried Ikebana?
No

19. Do you like spicy foods such as chilli peppers?
No, not a fan at all.

20. Are there any artisan food markets or farmer’s markets held close to where you live? Do you visit often?
The Cathedral Green has assorted markets over the year, which do have artisan food stands. But, sad to say, I am “boring” … I really like simple food.






I will return on Monday, and hopefully by then will have the photos from Killerton to share. Until then, have a super weekend, everyone.

I don't have much garden, but do enjoy having bright flowers in the tubs on the patio

No sign language. Green tea as it is. I was raised on it. No, but I should as my mom loved farmers markets.

I really wish I could learn sign language, but seeing as I never managed to learn French, despite having lessons for 9 years!
