On the Thursday we went for a wander around Burford House Garden Centre.
I adored this dragon which is very similar to the one in the gardens at Burford House but at around £4,500 it was way past my budget!!!!
I spotted my first bumble bee of the year - a Buff-tailed I think - on some hyacinths. There were a couple of them around and a Hairy -footed Flower bee on pulmonaria.
This dragon was within my budget and I was very tempted to buy it!
We didn't make any purchases in the end but B did see a plinth for his sundial. At the moment it is attached to an upturned square stone large flower pot but the plinth would look much better.
Burford House - I really must buy a year pass to the gardens this year and visit again. I so missed going last year.
We stopped off in Tenbury Wells to buy some bird food and a few items from Tesco.
I'd still love to move permanently to this area - the house below is on the market and is affordable. It has super sized rooms but sadly only a tiny courtyard garden to the side and it is a bit too close to the River Teme for my liking bearing in mind the problems Tenbury has with flooding. It was sad to see that the farmshop/greengrocers looked as though it had closed whether due to flooding I am not sure.
We had a quick look at the River Teme in the hope of spotting a Kingfisher but we only managed to see Mallard.

On the Friday we returned to the garden centre to buy the plinth for the sundial. We didn't go anywhere else because by now it looked as though I was getting cellulitis again.
On the Saturday B gardened and I had a zoom conference all day given by James Wright, who is a Buildings' Archaelogist, and gives talks on various aspects of historic buildings. I really enjoyed all his talks.
Sunday we came home. Hopefully, we will return soon probably with either D and/or E.
(Cellulitis has returned so yet again I am back on pencillin. I have to go for a blood test next week and have asked my GP to refer me to a specialist as the bouts are becoming so frequent).
All photos taken by me with the Panasonic Lumix FZ330 bridge camera. (I don't particularly rate my photos but if anyone wishes to use one of mine or my son's I would be grateful for an email first - thanks).
