....... today on our visit to the arboretum:D
Well Carol M upheld her promise and brought me cream tea at the arboretum today (well to be more specific coffee and a lovely piece of coffee and walnut cake)
We arrived at 11am when they opened and brought our season tickets - bargain of the year - as all mine are under 4 - just £24 for the seasoin (March - Nov) can go as often as I like :D
We saw the fountains, the chicken, the sheep and lambs, the lovely trees and daffodills, the tractor, the steam train (well watched it just over the field) we had lunch in a grassy glade, had a private deminstration from the gardener on how to pot up a plant, saw a wild phestant walk about 1 meter in front of us (oh the colours) and then while the little ones slept and Carol's 4 yr old played with the stones and sand - he was very engrossed in his play - Carol and I sat on a bench and had our tea / coffee while watching / listening to the fountain / bird song
A perfect day - and for me - even better arrived home to find the new toys order had arrived and all mindees gone home by 4pm (just 30mins after getting back to mine.
