Another nice sunny morning so I decided on a stroll to the new B&M store,it's the size of a small town and built on two storeys. The main part of the shopping area covers the whole of the ground level with a separate garden centre tagged on to the side of the building and the large pieces of furniture and appliances upstairs. The range and choice of products is bewildering Everything from a pkt of screws to a full bedroom suite and anything you could think of in between. The food and drinks section is just as comprehensive and the prices as expected are rock bottom. I never managed to get all round the lanes,there must be over 80,but it is easy to find any particular section and there are plenty of friendly elves to help. All in all a pleasant experience and It's not often I can say that about shopping.
I came home and made some lunch before taking the new chair into the garden for a sit in the sun and a read and that is when I spotted the first blooms appearing in my planters,there are not many yet but there are plenty of buds waiting to open. Here are a few snaps.
