Today has been quite a busy one as I spent this morning doing some cleaning and then I made a birthday card for Nellie's daughter (Nellie is my next door neighbour in Somerset).

This afternoon we went over to a garden centre which was massive and busy - the weekends I should think must be absolutely packed and not the best time to go.  This is a fabulous garden centre and I couldn't believe how reasonably priced most things were  - I was very impressed. There was also a food hall there which was quite impressive but then after wandering through the food hall, I spotted this, which admittedly the photo is not very clear but......................

A whole section of American foods, of which I was in my element.  There were so many different foods from Graham Crackers, Orios, Stove Top Stuffing (though there was just the cornbread Stove Top Stuffing only - which was the only item I purchased), Orios, Cherios and so the list goes on. I will definitely be returning to this garden centre again.

We then went to another garden centre on the way back which has its own Pet Centre and oh my - there were the most gorgeous rabbits that I have ever seen and these ranged from short haired to long haired to a huge (what I would call) Floppy Eared Bunny.  Threre was also a parrot section and some of these were out of their cages.  One of these was the most gorgeous soft pink colour and this one took a shine to my lilac jacket big time. As cute as this parrot was though, it was having one of those "biting everything in site" kind of days - but it was so cute!

This evening I quickly made supper which was chicken and white wine risotto (which I had taken out of the freezer in the morning), falafels and purple sprouted broccoli - the meal was fairly quick, nutritious and very yummy.

All in all, today was really nice and the weather was awesome, not too cold but wonderfully sunny.
