Taverham

Welcome to Ian Holland and Jackie Hawkins via Bloglovin.

We go to Taverham every 2 months or so. We stop at the garden centre for a drink and mooch around. Whilst there, we managed to get two birthday presents for our walking buddies and two presents for the festive season. That has got to be a record for us.

I also treated myself to a lightweight mac in a pack type walking jacket, windproof and rainproof and slightly longer than the one I usually use. Also a nice floral cotton reversible hat for summer, both walking and mooching around in. I never use to use a summer hat but find them essential now to stop not only the heat on my head but also the glare of the sun and protection for my face and neck from sunburn.

The main reason for going to Taverham is the dog food company. They have a huge selection of food, treat and general essentials. The products are cheaper than where I normally get them from but do contain more bone. We have to make sure we mix the food from there with the more expensive stuff. so Ruby doesn't get constipated. I also have to add minced offal as most of the products don't have it in and it is essential for a raw fed dog. Even with the addition of offal, it is still good value for money and gives her some change in taste and texture.

Not that she really needs a change. As soon as she sees her food bowl, she runs off at high speed to her 'place' and sits there, licking her lips.

Mini heatwave is on its way apparently and now that we have broken the back of the decorating, might actually find the time to garden (as well as relax). We have had a decent amount of rain for the garden which will help it enormously but not so much as to refill our water butts.

  1. A mini-heatwave would be lovely. My fingers are crossed.

  2. The clouds have been very grey on and off today but no rain, and yesterdays didn't do much good.

  3. We haven't got such a good forecast. I got soaked to the skin through 3 layers last night while out for a run, so I hope the water butts at the allotment have filled nicely- it rained for hours and the streets were running with water! We've had rain again today and it's been cold :(
    Well done on being organised with gifts!

    1. Not enough rain here to remotely top up the butts but the garden has had a good soak. Rhubarb growing now but gooseberries are rubbish:(
