A bag of beans
Off today to Ashford to see Maureen and Pat. Our visit was the day after Pat's birthday and the day before their 57th wedding anniversary. A pleasant day. Went off to Dobbies, which is a garden centre where they bought a two stemmed pink orchid to celebrate, and where we had a bite to eat.
They have recently been given a reconditioned iPad, Lorraine spent some hours showing Maureen how you can order your groceries online from Tescos and have them delivered. I wandered out into the back garden with Pat and picked beans from his bean row. I am newly interested in this as if we have a garden soon it would be good for Lorraine and I to have vegetable patch. Pat said beans are easy to grow, and that stringless ones are best. I love the idea of eating something I have grown. They are pretty too with their orange flowers and as Lorraine is constantly wanting green beans it seems mad not to. We went home with a bag of beans and some excellent cake that Maureen had made.
Lorraine also got to speak to her brother Kenny Peter. It's a weird mirror world.
We also all watched a new episode of Dr Who, which was rather good, the Doctor and some sidekicks being shrunk and then injected into a Dalek.
Home to a card showing an photo of Finland from the air from Laura, Derek and Claudia in Finland. Laura had seen our photos of Greece on this blog. Greece is where Laura and Derek met and fell in love in the eighties. The day ending with Match of the Day and Chelsea putting Everton to the sword 6-3. All well.
