Planted some small
primroses, cowslips and something unnamed but pretty in the patch of rockery I
have cleared over the last few days. I considered irises, but suspect they like
somewhere damper. One has gone in. Hopefully it will flourish.
Friday 6th
May
After several days of
working hard to pull out all the bramble canes, periwinkle and nettles from the
area where the hazel trees edge the garden border, we had a day off on Friday
to go and have lunch in Lalinde. (Thursday is market day, so we waited the
extra day.) We walked by the side of the canal until we reached the
Intermarche, and decided we would not shop there as we would have to carry
everything back and it was hot, hot, hot.
Back in the shade in
the corner of the old hall we discovered the dish of the day - the plat de
jour – was fish and chips with goats cheese salad. Perfect. Beautifully
cooked with a light batter, dressed salad and big, solid chips. We spent an
hour there, watching the world go by. Even Perla is a people watcher, possibly
because everything she sees is new to her. Big lunches in the middle of the day
are not for us. I soon retired to bed and slept for a couple of hours! Woke up
in time for dinner.
