Day 334 - November 30th


This afternoon Lara and a friend went to see 'Six' at the Milton Keynes Theatre.


Wayne and I dropped them off at the theatre and then went into the shopping centre to do a bit of Christmas shopping.


It was very busy with lots of shoppers but the centre looked lovely with all the decorations.



After shopping we returned to the theatre, which was also decorated for Christmas, and waited in the cafe for the show to finish

I had a sneak peek at the hyacinth bulbs that I planted last month. They are starting to shoot but need a little bit longer in the dark before they are ready to be put in the kitchen.

My cyclamen plant that lays dormant and neglected for a good part of the year is now starting to shoot. It always amazes me that it knows when to wake up.
