My sister phoned in the morning. I sat on the sofa to take the call, happened to look out of the front window and couldn’t believe my eyes. There was a fault going across the entire width of one of the new voiles! We had arranged to visit Pauline and Chris which we did but had to cut the visit short to return once again to Dunelm. By now I have a fist full of receipts from them and as I am sick of repeating this sorry saga again, we asked for Sam (head of Curtains or some such title). She came out and agreed yes, there was a major fault in one of them. Luckily I had taken both voiles with me. She went and found a replacement for the faulty one and guess what? It was a different colour white!!! I told her that I want some sort of compensation as each time this is their fault not mine.
She now had to ask the Manager. She came out and bless her, put her arm around me as I think she thought I was going to cry, well I was pretty near to it. (What do they say about moving, one of the most stressful times and we haven’t even finished emptying the caravan out yet!) So, they are hoping a matching pair will arrive tomorrow, their only delivery day. She told me to choose any at all and Mal said get the most expensive but I didn’t like them. I now have a refund for the third lot I have returned and IF I am lucky enough that a matching pair arrive tomorrow, I can have them for nothing.I think I have spent more than that in diesel but I would just like some voiles up at the window. And yes, I have thought of going elsewhere but I haven’t the time to go to Canterbury and all the old local curtain shops have closed down! I could never in my wildest dreams have imagined covering the front window would be so difficult.
In the afternoon Lou and I went to The Crescent Victoria Hotel, Margate for afternoon tea. It was a Travelzoo Offer and as Mal wasn’t that bothered, he said to go with Lou as she had never been for afternoon tea. It’s a newly refurbished hotel along the sea front, right opposite The Winter Gardens. We discovered that the bar and restaurant were in the basement, so down we went. Yes, it may be on the sea front but you couldn’t see it in the basement! We weren’t given a choice of teas, they forgot to give us the glasses of Prosseco, they gave us the cakes first and we had to ask for the sandwiches! Then there was no butter with the scones. It was all very amateurish for a “high class hotel”. The place lacked any sort of atmosphere. Still at least Lou and I had a good giggle.
By the time I arrived home, the plumber was there as the upstairs cistern had broken. He has now replaced all the insides of it.
Look what I saw in our garden.
We have now seen squirrels, thrushes, robins and pigeons. The pigeons seem to live in our trees.
