My friend Lorraine and I met up for lunch today to celebrate our birthdays (hers is a few days before mine). There is a smart new sign at the entrance to the garden centre
as usual I was early, so passed the time taking photos of the birds on the feeders
Lorraine had a brie, apple and cranberry sandwich
and I had ham, cheese and pickle
of course you can't celebrate birthdays without cake! As Lorraine is a chocoholic, she chose the chocolate crunch
and I had lemon meringue roulade
poor Malcolm was at home dealing with a load of logs which were delivered this morning
by the time I came home he had filled the log store
so what did I buy yesterday? You may remember that I already have one of these tins
but unlike that one, this one is stuffed with delicious fabrics
inside the carrier bag is a big roll of wadding ......
....... and these fabrics
