These are the plants I bought this morning at the GAMMA plant sale! Didn't I do well?! I spent 30euros in total and got some lovely summer plants for the garden as well as a huge sack of potting compost. If I had had more money with me I would have bought more, but these are wonderful. I came home and got them into the pots and borders straight away, to brighten up our garden. Funny how even this many doesn't go far.......but what a bargain ladies! I was there at 8am, feeling a little foolish for being so early, but there were so many people already waiting outside the doors that I was glad I had decided to be the early worm today. I have never been to the plant sale before so that is why I was worrying about being there too soon, but here in Holland everyone is very keen on a bargain so I did good!!! It promises to be a sunny weekend so we can enjoy them together once Peter gets home from his week away. Today it is quite humid and cloudy but it should get better this afternoon. I am working then, but only for a few hours. I want to watch Derek Ogilvie this evening but I might go to the camera course if Loes is up to it after her trip to Rome...we'll see!
I went round Enkhuizen yesterday taking photos for the course, and found a delightful restaurant where we possibly can go to with Becci and Roy for her 21st meal: De Drie Haringhe. It is quite small and intimate which is what we like, and will do vegetarian meals on request. I have to admit that watching "the Great British Menu" is turning me more and more towards vegetarianism. I don't enjoy meat much really and quorn in a sauce is fine, but I am not a true nuts and pulses person either. Semi-veggie is what I am I suppose, so perhaps I can tweak it a bit more towards veggie here at home this summer...my menfolk are not too happy with no meat at all, but Tim is fairly relaxed about it - so Peter, time to learn to cook!!!!!!
And now I have to get ready to have my lunch and go to work. I see sun!!!
