Stella is back!! The light has returned! She of the best ideas, collected me and we went to the nursery out by the bay. This is our cart plus three more plants that could not fit.
Feeling peckish ,after all of that heavy duty flower shopping ,we went to a place across the street from the beach ,where we have been pre covid ,to see if it had re- opened for fish and chips.
It has changed- for the better I must say! The little fish and chips place has become a brewery, attached outside to a huge area for outdoor sunshine, breeze off of the bay, drinking and pub food, combined with a venue for rock and roll and dancing. So much dancing! Pub food delivered in paper containers though there is still a lot of plastic usage. Straw, cup, fork...
Everyone deliriously happy, vaccinated and maskless for the most part. The sun shining, the music rocks, the cod delicious! A good day!
Variety of foot gear.
Dogs allowed, sniffing around looking for dropped chips and a pat on the head. It is not easy to find a place that accepts dogs and orphans who are underage.
Kites being flown on the beach, hearty folks splashing in the cold sea- LIFE, y'all!!
It's back!
To identify your table and order- massive ,easy to see , hand crafted flowers in buckets of flowers are placed on your table . Enjoying this overwhelming joy - folks so glad to see one another even if they are strangers. Camaraderie extreme! We made it! We are still alive and being so is appreciated, congratulations!
Now -to get these into some good dirt. The print in front is a gift from Stella, my favorite flower and my favorite colors! She knows stuff. An excellent Stella day! Welcome home , girl!
So glad you got to have such a terrific outing with the mythical STELLA! It feels good to get back into the swing of things, doesn't it? Thank goodness for vaccines. Love the flowers!
