With this morning dawning bright and sunny we decided to go to Trentham Gardens for a walk, a browse and some lunch. Barry and Carol came along with us and after some shopping we met up with them at Pie Minister for lunch.
The garden centre store had a forest of artificial Christmas trees on sale. I'm sure they don't make them as realistic looking at home! I tricked Mick into standing beside a very appropriate sign. He thought I was taking a photo of one of the signs behind him and I stepped back at the last moment to capture the one I really wanted. Gave us both a giggle. We really like one of the shops in the shopping mall but I now can't recall what it's called. It's a bit like a giant farm shop and well worth a browse even if it is a bit pricey.
I had a phone call from Claudia, my German friend, and we chatted about us going to visit her next month. So... this evening I knuckled down and trawled the internet to make flight bookings and a hotel booking. When I saw we could get cheap flights with KLM that involved a stop in Amsterdam we decided to leave the plane there and spend the weekend in Amsterdam and then take a train to Frankfurt. It worked out cheaper than booking two one way flights. I've only had a one day visit to Amsterdam before and loved it so it will be nice to have a couple of days this time. Hope the weather isn't too terrible!
Meanwhile our pet swans continue to tap on the kitchen window for attention.
