Yesterday, an acquaintance (J) on the Freebie site offered an Easter egg as a giveaway. Lots of interest, as you can imagine, but I was not the randomly chosen lucky recipient. However, J messaged me and offered me a box of Dairy Milk chocolates instead. How could I refuse??
The collection took longer than usual however. First, I did a tour of their garden, met the husband, discussed leek growing, made a fuss of their dog that I've met several times before, then headed back to the car................then J spotted her next door but one neighbour chopping away at a dead looking bush. J tells the lady that I know about gardening and can help her!!! It was a Bottle Brush shrub, mostly dead with one living branch. I filled a dog poo bag (clean) with seeds though I suspect they were beyond hope - as was most of the bush.
Then along comes another neighbour with 2 dogs, so we had another chat and finally along comes "Ann with the wonky wall" and her dog. I haven't met so many people in a short space of time for a couple of years. They know me now as Carole Veggie.
Finally, got away for my second IN of the day - a jar of Coffee, Onion Gravy granules, Flaxseed and some herbal tea bags. A motley assortment but it all helps to fill the Moneyless Chicken's store cupboard.
