On a windy and fine day, some shopping to buy Diana’s new car from Hunts Motors and then to the barbers, with little Della in tow, before off to Brampton Garden Centre. Afterwards to establish the perennial flowering plants we bought and a bonfire before taking Sally Guinee with me to St Ives in the hope of persuading local personality, Angela Bush, to stand in next May's District Council Election for the Liberal Democrats
The day started windy but fine again and so I decided to get some more outside work done. First, I had to do my morning chores and then go shopping with Della and Diana into St Neots. I stopped off at Hunts Motors to sign a cheque and some papers for Diana's new car and then went into the town centre to get my hair cut as Di did some shopping. Little Della came and sat with me in the barbers as I was done, and we then went and got the drinks in the cafe whilst waiting for Di.
Some more shopping and then off to Brampton Garden Centre where I was expecting to buy the "Autumn Top Lawn" I needed for my lawns but, despite telephoning in advance to make sure they had some, the girl had made a mistake and I was left without it. We still bought some perennial flowering plants for the garden (£40-worth!) and loaded them up. I then took the girls to the Little Chef for lunch and spent the afternoon in the garden, lighting a bonfire to dispose of an accumulation of rubbish from the garden and also planting out all of the plants that I had bought.
This took me up to tea-time, after which I updated these last couple of days' journal and then got ready to go out to meet my Liberal Democrat colleagues in St Ives. I had arranged to take Sally Guinee with me, and the objective was to persuade a local personality, Angela Bush, to stand in next May's District Council Election.
