Hands up my interests in no particular order are:
Motorbikes
Fishing
Shooting
Music - Live & Recorded
Drinking - Usually Alcohol
I have NO interest in gardening! Other than sitting in a nice one drinking Wine or beer.
Every year around this time Mrs.C asks me to take her to the Garden Centre, and considering my other interests I feel obliged to endure the request.
This year I noticed something that maybe I had ignored before; every one in the bloody place pushing their trollies around with bits of half dead plants, we’re at least a hundred years old and members of the ‘blue rinse’ hair club! I‘m only freakin’ 62 and felt like a nipper in there. After a lap of the plants and water features (what the plastic fu(k are they?). I wanted a little bird bath for the garden….£35.00! we made for the exit.
On to the Farmers Market Shop.
Now I like quality food and ingredients, and happy to pay a little extra for quality, but I was in for a shock. Small Cob loaf of bread £4.50. A cabbage £3.90! A Whole chicken £18.00! Mind you it was dead and had been plucked! Taking the p*ss or what. I feel they are ripping off the gullible old age pensioner.
Getting old…… don’t let it get you!
