The djd birthday trip photo’s

Have been told off for not posting piccies of a road trip last month…so here are a few.

But before the pic’s a story from today.  Spent time in the garden…more soil for the spuds…planted some tomato plants and leeks. We decided to head out for lunch dropped into a garden centre and brought some barrels – half cut – so we can plant fruit trees, pumpkins and things 🙂

On the way home we stopped off at the local shops…..djd went to get the bird seed…I went to get the daily paper…met up back at the car…I decided a G&T would be nice tonight..so popped in to the liquor store…djd went to the car….I came out…and the car wasn’t there…oh I thought he must have moved the car closers so I wouldn’t have to walk so far…what a nice man I have…went round the corner….no car…no djd….sinister thoughts started to go through my head like….he’s driven off without me!!!!!!!!

then driving down the road come the car with a laughing djd….tears rolling down his face from his actions of….DRIVING HOME WITHOUT ME!!!! It wasn’t even a deliberate thought…no…he just started the car up and drove off…………..until he remembered that there was someone else who was meant to be travelling in the car………………of course the trouble is….I couldn’t even tell him off cause …I was busting my gut laughing too much…could hardly speak with the laughter…..I think I should have growled 🙂

As promissed piccies 🙂
