chance acquaintance

Kev spent all day Sat. doing work on Just Jo so, along with going to shop for groceries, I went to the cinema.

In the foyer before the show I made the acquaintance of a local lady named Lois. We chatted intensely right up until the movie began. Watched the movie then chatted on incessantly.

She loves gardening and offered to give me some cuttings from her place. I spent a lovely afternoon chatting and collecting interesting specimens for my little plot. She is 75 and fortunately is of amazing stamina.

I gathered enough to complete both the front area and the back patch. This even inspired me to go to work on the back lawn yesterday with our push mower after I pulled up innumerous roots throughout the top layer of the lawn. I am aching considerably at the moment but I feel good. I also repositioned the pavers into a more workable direction, that's still work in progress to repair the ground!

I greatly enjoyed The Duchess and thought Kiera Knightley did a wonderful job as the Duchess.

We have beautiful weather today I don't know where to but I shall go for a walk, not to collect plants either!!!! Just for the experience.
