Yesterday (Saturday) we had to collect Miss 'Freckles' from her home in Bourne, so with her Dad we made a trip over to Spalding, our 'Home' town. After picking up our usual large order of 'Browning's' Sausages for the freezer we skipped the town centre and headed for Springfields retail outlet for a little retail therapy. Miss Freckles announced it was her most 'fav' shopping place.
We didn't go planning to buy much but we needed a Christmas wreath for Ma & Pa in Laws memorial stone in Spalding Cemetery.
After a disappointing mediocre lunch in the restaurant attached to the Festival Garden Centre we all split up. We headed into the plant area only to find a dearth of wreaths. We are too early for them apparently. After wandering around debating our options we plumped on a pretty flowering pot plant hoping it would fit into the well of the stones metal flower vase. (It didn't, but I made it!)
A couple of books and a half priced expensive expanding suitcase later we all met up at Costas for more coffee. It was so cold (the weather not the coffee) we all decided enough was enough and headed back for the car and home.

On the way home Miss Freckles decided she wanted to take a photo on her camera phone of the rather splendid sunset .
But she certainly didn't want advice on how to from Dad! 
Dad doesn't know he should open his eyes when being photographed!
