sunflowers and shopping

Was a lovely afternoon, dry but a bit dull at times...enough of the weather forecast....

Needed to get some veggies , and was not up to going to the supermarket....

I much prefer to shop here....

It is excess produce by a local organic small steading.
They have an honesty box and two stalls....one with plants ons pots of herbs.....


And the other with there weighed out produce , in brown bags with prices marked on them....



It is just the most tasty fruit & veg ever!

I got tatties, carrots, onions, fresh peas, aubergine, courgettes, tomatoes, parsley, kale, a bag of beetroot, a cucumber....
And something else which I can't think of right now, for £5!

Yummy!

They also sell bunches of mixed flowers from the garden ....£1 a bunch!
these sweet peas were so pretty and smelt divine!






I love the mix of colours and the yellow mini sunflower is soooo cute!

They only had one bag of carrots on the stall, so I asked the lady who owns it if they had any....she wandered off to get me some, and her hubby cycled back up the field a few minuets with some he had just pulled for me!

Now you DON'T get that in tescos!!!

After you get your shopping , you can wander over and see the horses.....


Although Poppy was so not impressed at her best mate Belle & Emma going to see them and not taking her with them!!
So we ended the day off with a walk in the woods.....


On our way to the veggie stall, we stopped to admire a field of sunflowers...
this picture dose not do them justice....they were just beautiful!
I need to go back on a sunnier day and get closer picture of them......


All in all a pleasant afternoon.

back to school!!

Poppy has been a wee madam....

She seems to think that since I am off work just now
that I should give her all my attention ....all of the time....



We met a lady the other day who told me that Labrador's go through a terrible two's stage....
between one and three years......

*sigh*



Anyway....she is very sweet....even though she is a wee thief....
she likes to pinch things from my beside cabinet, or craft table...including scissors!!!

She is only a year old and mainly a good wee dog, behaving most of the time.....
We are back at her dog class this evening,
she had a month off due to Summer holidays and her being spayed.
She dose well at the class, as long as none of the other doggies pay her any attention......

Then she just ignores me and spends all evening trying to go and see them!

Anyway......

I made these as a wee thank you for Donna & Graham who take the dog class.







They have helped us with a few of Poppy's behaviour problems...
like when she was afraid to climb up or down stairs,,,,
including three steps at the vets!!!

Donna spent ages one evening , and helped us completely fix the problem.

Donna has a beautiful Rottie who is a wee star and Graham has a Samoyed who is really funny.
Both dogs attend the class to do the demo's.
