We attended our monthly Gardeners Guild meeting on Tuesday evening when the speaker gave a talk on Wightwick Manor gardens throughout the year. It was very interesting indeed to get an insight into the future plans for the gardens. We must visit again soon. It was very nice to have someone else to talk to as well! Life in your 70s can be lonely at times 🙁 The £3 per person cost included a mug of coffee and a chocolate biscuit as well as a raffle ticket. We didn't win but it was a bargain nonetheless. We added our names to the list for the December quiz night. It will include a 'Pot luck supper' where everyone brings food to share. Last year we had a lovely variety of good food for the buffet.

Yesterday (Wednesday) was a quiet day. Neither of us felt very energetic so we decided to pop to the village for a walk, to return my library book and to drop another batch of cards at the shop. Again, there were just 3 cards left and a customer was in the shop actually asking when I would be bringing more in. She pounced on the new batch and bought 3 😁
A sample below :
We felt so inspired that we treated ourselves to a visit to the pub. Tea and toast for me £2.79 😉 a pint and a pizza for Gray £7.79 Any old excuse eh? 😂
Thanks for popping in Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,

We don't see many people most days, I'm very happy to be at home, there is always something for me to do in the garden or a good book to read. We don't turn on TV much and never daytime TV. A walk to the village is always a chance to chat to people you meet.
ReplyDeleteWe don't put tv on during the day either. Gray can often be found Candy Crush-ing rather than talking to me ! It can be very annoying at times, especially when he 'has' to finish a few games before we can go out ....grrr
DeleteHow lovely to actually speak to a card customer and see her enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteYes, Kirsten, it was lovely to meet her and ask what she particularly likes. She said that she liked the fact that I always put a plain insert inside as it makes them look more 'finished'. She has actually bought 15 in the past few weeks and asked what day i take them in, so that she can get first pick, I think ☺️
DeleteYour cards are (rightly) really appreciated. Well done you!
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice to meet one of your card customers. It sounds like you had a good time at the Gardeners Guild meeting and talk. It's nice to get out and not have to spend a fortune. We had a lovely walk in sunshine this afternoon in some local woodland and then stopped at a community cafe that sells tea or coffee and a couple of biscuits for £1 and very nice too. We had a chat with two or three people and then came home having enjoyed physical exercise and social contact. A win win in my book. Regards Sue H
