Bargain....

I managed to pick up some bargains at work tonight. I got four loaves of bread which were reduced to 31p. Perfect for freezing, as part of our being frugal drive. I also got two large bunches of yellow tulips, reduced to 50p a bunch from £6.99 a bunch, and two Easter bouquets reduced from £4.99 each to 50p a bunch. Once my staff discount was deducted I got the whole lot for £2.81. What a bargain! I'm going to give two bunches of flowers to mum in law. I would love to get some for my mum, but can't get over there until the weekend.

I'm also sticking to my plan of not buying lots of books, popped into the Library today and borrowed "Celtic Wisdom" by Vivianne Crowley and "The real witches garden" by Kate West, I'll let you know if they're any good or not.

A walk in the woods....

This morning hubby and I took woody for a walk in the Forest. It was very grey, overcast and cold, but the rain stayed away long enough for us to get him walked. Woody likes nothing better than a big stick or ball. We forgot to take his ball, so big stick it was.
I,m having fun playing with different settings on the camera since I've started blogging and took these two close ups of a primrose and Wood Anemones. Very seasonal pics methinks.

I think this stick is a bit too big, but Woody and his dad seem to be having fun with it anyway. Really feeling the urge today just to up sticks and move to the country. If only life was that simple. :o( To cheer myself up when we got home I put on my old tape of "its not easy being green" if I can't live in the country I'll watch people who are.

As part of our greener lifestyle I've ordered a kitchen caddy from Wiggly Wigglers (wigglywigglers.co.uk) for all the compostable scraps. I do try to put as much in the compost as possible, but when its persisting with rain it does sometimes end up in the bin. But no more! We're definitely on a mission that Dick Strawbridge would be proud of.
