Christmas on the Horizon?

 

We went out for lunch the other day to one of our favourite venues Daisy Clough Garden Centre and Tearooms in Scorton.

The are having a bit of a re-jig at the moment, the Autumn/Winter selection of clothes have appeared on the rails, the gardening section is being condensed and the pile of boxes at the entrance as we walked in suggested that Christmas will be appearing soon.

Alan chose a Prawn Salad and I had the small Fish and Chips with garden peas ... it's never mushy peas for me.  Even the small portion was too much, so Alan ended up with all of the crispy little chips, his favourite sort ... and I ate all the big fat ones.  We do compliment each other quite nicely.  😀

I also came home with some freebies off our table, the sugars that we didn't use, the little Biscoff biscuit that Alan wasn't in the mood for, and the lemon that was served with my fish, I don't like lemon juice on fish but I do use it in my compost heap jelly making, so it didn't go to waste.

On the way out I also spied two unopened little biscuit packs on a recently vacated table, so they came home with us too.  I cannot bear the thought of good things ending up in the bin.

  3. Morrisons supermarket has a wall full of selection boxes etc already in stock. I’m trying to ignore the winter festival for now but will be in head first next week when my craft class starts again! Catriona

  7. I slipped the unused ketchup sachet in my bag the other week. It had a split in it. Fortunately my bag was a washable nylon one and nothing of great importance was damaged by the red stains!
