Hanging umbrellas have come to the garden centre. 

The cause of the water leak yesterday may have been a misdiagnosis because this morning I discovered a bigger problem. So, much of my day has been spent with my head down a drain! An exaggeration, but somehow I got the dirty work to do. 

I needed to restock the bird food so took a walk to the garden centre while my husband went to the hardware shop to get a pipe unblocking tool. That and the jet on the hosepipe and job done ....... we hope. 

Only three people plus me in the outdoor plant area so it wasn't easy to get someone in a photo. 

Update: Worth getting more bird food ...... Mr and Mrs Bullfinch and now happily tucking into the contents of the hanging feeders.
