Thats lovely and I can fair smell those stocks, pleased you all enjoyed your day and how sensible to arrive at a GC at closing time, I`m impressed, lol....

Its great to share our love of gardening with each other, and to do it in person is just, Magic :)

Thanks Paul..they are :o)
Thank you,Lincslass...we had about 30 minutes to rush around ..but we made it !.Its a long time since I saw stocks,but it was lovely to be reminded how lovely they are..
It is great to meet up with like minded people,Ydd..who would have thought it ?

Hi Sandra, We did have a lovely day together didn't we! can't wait for our next exscursion which hopelfully we will include a detour to a Garden Centre lol and another spending spree, also a hearty meal to keep the Boys happy lol.Have you decided what to put in your new chic pot? I have planted my Cyclaman and its now on the table in the conservatory, also planted my new Lantana "Lucky" in the back garden and have put some pebbles around it to highlight! your Lynchis is also planted in the back border and tomorrow I plan to plant the Primula Drumstick in the front garden;0) Thanks again for a great day out;0))

Sounds like you had a bloomin' lovely day! I can almost smell those stocks! :)

Smashing blog Bloomer.
Just think, if you'd been locked in the GC overnight, you could have been waiting at the checkout next morning with trolleys full of goodies! . . lol. :-))

Hahah Good idea walter!

How lovely :o))
And I'm glad you bought something ! It's no good if you don't buy something lol

That was a lovely gesture from Carole and Harry, so pleased you enjoyed your meeting and day out you pair of spendaholic plantoholic pair lol

Lol,Carole..shame the place we chose for lunch was disappointing,but at least we had a lovely view..and the cake at the garden centre made up for it..you were very good not having any..but your meal was better than ours!:o)
Glad you got your planting done..my pot is still empty..but Thomas came ,and discovered pebbles..so it does have something in it ! .Lol.
Thanks Pixi, a lovely day out ,and a few laughs..can't beat it .:o)
Thanks Muddy...what a great idea..only I went through the checkout,with the miserable lady I had last time..only one left open..so I don't think she would have been very pleased..no change there,then..but she did raise a very forced smile ! :o)

thank you Hywel..it is not much fun if you don't buy anything,I agree..mission accomplished..! :o)

Thank you 6d,it was a nice gesture,as I never buy flowers for myself,so very much appreciated..I almost suggested calling in at Morrison's on the way home..but for once,kept my mouth shut..Lol.We took the scenic way back instead..:o)..Think the boys were gardened up by then ! :o)

Lol Sandra your as bad as me hehe its nice to have some fresh flowers you should buy some I do now and then if pocket allows the reduced ones lol hehe about the boys.

Ooh Sandra, I love those Stocks, another flower I haven't seen for a very long time ... pleased you had a good day out with food, good weather, tour around Cannon Hall and a GC too ... sounds just perfect to me ... : o ))
