Take what you get

Nick took a bit of time out for lunch, so we went to Castle Gardens with our provisions from Spar for chip rolls. It’s always lovely just to be there and enjoy the beautiful flowers and gardens. The boys ran around and climbed trees. Then we went to Solomon’s DIY where they are having a sale, and looked at their goodies. They have 5l buckets of exterior masonry paint on special, from ₤17.99 to ₤9.99, but only in two colours – a pale green and a pale blue. We are going to be wanting to paint the back of the house and the walls which Nick has been “pointing up” (patching up with cement), so are considering the peppermint paint. Ideally we’d like to get a biscuit or cream or beige coloured paint, but might have to just go for what we can get that is cheap.
