    Do you know, I really hate those courses where they want you to role play. Last time I did it , I was accused of being subversive, I just thought I was being realistic.image

    Me too.   Possum went for an interview for a student job at a theme park this summer and had to do role play.  She loves that sort of thing and does it well.  However, she lost the plot when the other person returned a pizza for the 6th time but they've employed her anyway to sit in an office and count cash for 4 weeks in July.

    Speaking of recipes, I was very surprised to find palm oil listed in an organic Xmas pud from Duchy originals a couple of years ago so didn't buy it.   All those food miles and homeless orangutans!   What's wrong with British butter?

    DD has just left on her onward journey. 

    Tea drunk and hot cross buns consumed 

    Over all too quickly, we could have chatted for hours. 

    Safe journey DD

    I have buds on the aquilegias, which is a bit early. There is a new plant on the touchwood site, it looks like the one that I sent her seeds off a couple of years ago. I called it raspberry ripple, but there is another plant with that name so it can't be called that officially. It is described as "awesome"

    I am so chuffed.image

    Those who had plants off of me last year at Bressingham should have something similar this year.

    Dove;the planting scheme for your new bed should provide plenty of interest.  Hope you get lots of frogs.  The painters have finished so I can get furniture etc back into the room and clear the hall so that it's not an obstacle course.

    We went to Tesco, then a GC. Bought some seeds to take back. Then we went exploring and had tea in a tea room. Back to France tomorrow.

    Verdun, no one accused you of lying, but you said "I was told their supply comes from B & Q." That is not quite the same as B&Q and Crocus using the same suppliers. No one has back pedalled either.

    Afternoon all.

    Lovely day in the garden, sunny and warm, even removed jumper at one point.

    Glossy pamphlet arrived from the Gov. today, have to admit, that even as a staunch say in person, I thought it was a load of old tosh.

    Now going to soak in a bath, with a little music, and maybe a medicinal gin, before cooking dinner.

    Have a good evening.

    Glorious sunshine while I was at work; come home and the sun goes in! I call that most unfair!
