Touché

A good day when we ran out of soup. Again. This time A Taste of the Garden, followed by an utterly delicious Mildly Spiced Parsnip. The warm weather we'd been promised failed to materialise (deja vu) but I did manage to nip home and place a winning ebay bid on 6 cups and saucers in our no-longer-made range. The downside is that I have to go to North Yorkshire to pick them up.
Three ladies came for lunch and cake. They also went shopping. One bought a bird box, the second a necklace and a pair of earrings and the third 13 plants. They told me they don't get together often. Were they old school friends? I asked.
No. They were in a fencing team together.
Of course.

  1. Blimey, 13 plants ? What proportion of the stock was that ? Are you running a tea shop or a nursery ?

  2. We have a table outside covered in plants - courtesy of the local nursery for whom we sell them.
    £1.80 each or 10 for £16.50.
    Another bow string.
