Gainsborough.

This morning I googled for the nearest branch of Marks and Spencer. It was either at Grimsby or Gainsborough. As we go to Grimsby sometimes we thought it might make a change to go to Gainsborough and make it a day out. Well yes, there was a Marks and Spencers at Gainsborough
when we got there but it turned out to be only a food outlet so that was a wasted journey as I wanted shoes! However on walking around the town we found a shop that was selling wine at a third of the price of any other shop that we know of so of course we decided to save some money by buying a few bottles!! I bought Martini at £3.99. later when we called at Morrisons the same bottle was £7.99 .
Phone call to my neighbour. They were all supposed to be going to London tomorrow. Her son had booked them into a hotel, booked flights on the London Eye and booked two shows in the west end as well as first class rail tickets etc. However they can't go as George has been ill since Sunday. They are all so disapointed.
Graham has more or less recovered from his misadventure of Tuesday but I am still suffering from stabbing myself in the hand. Gina can't believe that someone could be stupid enough to try to prise a bottle top off with a pair of scissors. Not until Andrew told her that he once tried to get the sauce bottle lid off with a hatchet!!!
Not much else to report. I am going great guns with my family tree but am going to wait until winter before paying to go further. It is so time consuming.
A lot of wildlife activity when we were coming over the wolds. some of the birds we can't identify
and off course there is always a lot of road kill. Anyway the birds are all very busy getting the nests ready.
more later. Sheila xx

You can't afford not to drink wine at that price Sheila. That's what I used to say when bottles of beer in Spain were 10 pence compared to the one pound 50 in England.

Glad to see Graham is recovering. I think ladders and all sharp objects should taken out of your house.

The birds you saw were probably the same escaped parrots that Mam sees occasionally in her back garden.

he was joking mum! We both believe you two have gone daft, what with him going up ladders and you opening bottles with SCISSORS! Safety first!!!
