On The Island

A work day and it took me an hour and a quarter to get there because of road works.

We were surprisingly quiet but there is always culling of stock to do and new stock to put out. Poor Jack has an ear infection and not at all well but he had a new assistant manager from another branch to train.

We went to Knees Wood , a lot of bluebells everywhere there. A walk in the woods and then a coffee in the cafe.

Garden in the afternoon. Mal went to the allotment, a lot to do there at the moment. He brought some delicious asparagus back home for dinner.

We did watch Man City beat Arsenal!!!

Spurs played in the afternoon. It looked as though were playing a little better but it was only a draw! Painful to keep watching them when they may be “going down.”

We had a gift voucher for Christmas from Jem and Dom and it was for Foliage. Originally it was for afternoon cocktails – no way when I have to drive so we changed it to afternoon tea. Also it was until the end of March but because I was unwell they were kind enough to extend it for us. It’s a very nice place and lovely staff and it is dog friendly. They even brought a bowl of dog biscuits for Ellie!

Very nice but too much and too much sugar!!

A Red Hatter lunch day. We met at the Jolly Farmer. It was so nice to be back with the girls and catch up on everything with them. I have missed them and of course missed the holiday in Eastbourne because I was unwell. They had fun and so that was a good thing.

Four of us decided we wanted to go to Warners in the Isle of Wight again next January so in the evening I booked it all.

King George VI park for our walk.

I had an appointment with my Canterbury dentist and she phoned and cancelled as she couldn’t get child care!!!
