Always Space for Just One More

 


As you will have noticed Alan had a busy week at the bungalow last week, so when 2pm on Friday afternoon came around and he phoned me to ask if I fancied meeting him at Booths for a coffee and a spot of lunch of course I said yes ... I don't need asking twice.  😄

After some sandwiches for Alan and a shared bowl of chunky chips alongside our coffees, we went downstairs and picked up a few bits and pieces that we both needed, and lots of Ginger's favourite cat food.


I spent £8.40 on the three items of food and I may have spent another £3.99 on a Dahlia.  It was a beauty I couldn't resist.


The next day on our way home from a breakfast at the garden centre, picking up our monthly free coffees while we were there, we stopped off at Aldi because Alan wanted to do his 'proper shop'.  I bought this lovely trolley full.


As well as these flatbreads which I use as pizza bases, and which went into the trolley after I had taken the photo.  


In Aldi I spent £20.95, and as you might have spotted in the trolley photo I was pressured by it's beauty into buying another Dahlia.

Alan said ... 'Will you have space for it in the garden?'

What a silly question to ask a gardener, there is always space for just one more. 💚

    1. I only discovered them a couple of years ago when I got a bargain pack of dahlia bulbs for 30p in Tesco. I've been hooked ever since.

    1. It works really well, they are just the right size for a single person pizza too. 😀

  4. While I have used soft tortillas as pizza bases, I will have to give flat breads a try.

    God bless.

    1. Yes, I've done that before too and it works really well doesn't it. These flatbreads just have a bit more substance to them. 😀
