I`d been rather unwell – an infection in my windpipe, Trachyitis I think the doctor called it. Anyway it was a lovely sunny day on Thursday so OH said how about a ride out. OK, so off we went to Hilliers nurseries in Redditch one I haven`t visited before.
The first pressie was my little imp one that I had been wanting for a while.

Doesn`t he look great and full of mischief.
Next offering was; Philadelphus “Virginal”

Next came climbing roses "Iceberg"and “Malvern Hills” – I will put a picture of these on at a later date as the aren`t in flower as yet, but plenty of tiny buds.

I thought we had finished but on the way home passing through Tardybigge he said how about looking in the antique/reclaimation yard, and there it was a cast iron table and chairs all the way from France.

Did I feel better? definitely.

Thanks TT and Cinders, feeling much better thanks.
Sadly Sticky we didn`t go in the cafe, although I was feeling a little better I was finding it hard to swallow, probably the only downside to the day as I do love a bit of cake.

Sounds like a nasty bug you picked up, but glad to here you are on the mend - I like the cast iron furniture nothing like garden centre retail therapy.

That sounds really nasty, Stroller, hope you feel better soon. Your table and chairs have just arrived in good time for the summer, and they look perfect where you've put them!

Ta one and all, feeling not to bad, rain stopped play in the garden today, didn`t mind too much as the French tennis final was on - couldn`t miss Raffa and Federa.

I very much like your table and chairs and also pleased that you are recovering well. Not nice to feel under the weather...even if you get treated to a garden centre outing.

Your little imp looks cute in your spot....nice that you got him after a long wait.

poor lass, I suffer from Trachyitis, and it's miserable, especially when the coughing starts and nothing seems to help. I know being in the classroom with kids is really embarrassing. However, it it got me those french chairs i start coughing now.

Your revamp looks rally lovely and has give me some good ideas for my small plot.
