I have two of these storage lockers, the second one will be going at the left side of the next photo.
This has now been done and the fencing wire is in place, photo tomorrow
These are on the windowsills to add a little colour, once they have grown a bit.
I decided that a trip out somewhere new was called for and decided to go here. A very pretty village with a few interesting shops.
This one was lovely, I managed to keep my bag shut and my purse inside it. Lots of little rooms to pop in and out of, I dare not go to the second floor, I only have so much will power.
That was about 2/3 rds of it, so many pretty things and the prices were not astronomical either.
I did go in this shop and drop some money in the till, I bought a toy for Ben for 50 p.
I also went in here and spent just under £4.00
These are my purchases, and I am very pleased with them.
I could not resist this Garlic, named after one of my favourite films.
And this is just not what you expect to find in the middle of Wales.
There was a chap complete with Gallic striped top and beret but he declined the photo shoot.
I have a stack more photos but will save them for another day.
I stopped to pick up a few things on the way home,
A chicken, a pack of Ciabatta rolls, Coleslaw, bananas, Garlic Sausage and Ham and tomatoes, total spend £6.42. That made lunch for 2 on Friday and Saturday, there will be roast chicken on Sunday and the rest of the meat will last most of next week.
I also picked up some stick deodorants for £1.25p each, a new product promotion, I got enough for several months, cheap is good.
I went to Cross Hands today and spent a few hours sewing and chatting and it was very pleasant. I made a simple tunic dress and did some patchwork, that can wait for another day as well. I must buckle down to some more scrap sewing soon, very soon.
I am off now, time is ticking away and I need tea.

pam , on the deodorant front, i get a spray one now from tesco for 41p , it does the job but you have really inspired me to get some bulbs for next yaer now , poundland hear a come xxx
ReplyDeleteI can not use sprays, they make me sneeze furiously and I tend to ricochet backwards, I use a stick deodorant. I will be looking in the cheapy shops for more bulbs, the only ones in the garden are Gladioli and they need moving to a sheltered spot.
DeleteLovely little shops, I would have been sorely tempted had I gone inside.
ReplyDeleteI bought some pansies today, but they only had the little tiny ones - I love pansies as they have happy smiling faces.
We have one storage container like yours but half the size, but also a long lower height one which we put the coal in ( got rid of concrete coal bunker some years ago) the plastic bins are very hardy and thank goodness as our shed overfloweth!
That shop with all the little rooms was a severe temptation but I held strong. I am going to look for some cyclamen I think, they are on offer at Aldi later in the week.
DeleteLoving those pansies, they're going to look great.
ReplyDeleteI mentally would have spent a fortune in that shop!
Oh I spent plenty in my head, the pansies will look good once they put on a bit of growth. My spending is being restricted for a couple of months.
DeleteI love visiting new places too Pam. Have you got a big garden at your new house? You may have said but I missed rather a lot of posts when my mum died and I havent had time to read them all!
ReplyDeleteMy garden here is small compared to Tydd but not tiny, by clearing the rubbish from the top section I have almost doubled the area. The soil is very good and i am planning what to put in.
Deletehello pam,
ReplyDeletelove the little shops.I love the pansies.Lovely bulbs have you buyed.And the garlic have a wonderful name.Casablanca is a wonderful film.....i love it.

The village is very pretty and I will be searching out more to visit.
DeleteWhat a sweet little (big!) shop! You were very strong! Oh TULIPS! I LOVE 'em! But I have given up on garlic after so many disasters! What a shame - I shall follow your progress with interest!
ReplyDeleteThe onion guy was probably moonlighting! Lxx
I have never had any problems with garlic as long as I remember to cover them so that the birds do not pull them up to play with. I will plant the tulips in bulb baskets, it is too wet here to leave them in the ground all the time.
DeleteThe shop looks fabulous - you did very well to restrain yourself in there!
ReplyDeleteIt was not too bad, I kept repeating the mantra, one in one out and that kept me on track.
