The Range

First thing Thursday morning I had a finance meeting with the CEO and Treasurer of LDNE.

Getting dressed I said to Fester 

“I think I might pop into 
The Range on the way home and get some seeds.”
“That'ud be good; which ones?”
“Oh - just ffa and parsnip.”
“What about tomatoes and pumpkins and marrows?”
“It works better when we get them at allotment sales.”

The meeting went well, I parked outside The Range at about half past ten, collected a wheely basket and went into the gardening section.

I ended up with: 4 packets of different types of parsnip seeds; 3 of broad bean (ffa); 3 of radish; 2 spring onion; 4 nasturtium and one dwarf pansy.
As they were in the same section, bags of peanuts and suet for the bird feeder.

Then had a 'little look around, just to see'.

Found toiletries: a pack of cottonwool balls; one of cottonwool pads; a tub of moisturising aqueous cream with aloe-vera; another with cocobutter; a tube each of Argon oil shampoo and conditioner.
Then some gifts (get them when you see them); a cuddly bird hot-water-bottle; three A5 notepads for Easter/Father's Day/Fester's birthday.
In household items, a packet of curtain hooks.
Finally in crafts: a sheet of orange felt and one of orange foam for knitted chick beaks.

One hour and forty odd quid.

I had thought of going into Wyndsor's World of Shoes as I probably need a pair of trainers, but I didn't have the heart.
