from a successful mission to buy very comfy shoes. I did a little<br />
detour to find a tea shop, <a href="http://www.theappletreegiftshop.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Apple Tree</a>. I had read about it on line<br />
and after the closure of the Beetroot Tree have been feeling lost<br />
for somewhere to go for some time out. It was worth the detour.<br />
A tiny little gem of a place with gorgeous cakes and best of all -<br />
gluten free brownies. And... you can have a mug!!<br />

Two beautiful but dead thrushes outside</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">the kitchen window. No blood or anything nasty. The conclusion we came </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">to was that they had flown in to the kitchen window or the window above it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">and killed themselves. One yes, but two? Very sad.</span><br />

grandpa a very long time ago and was never used. My other half added<br />
a leg and I added the roofing felt. It was abit parky out there this <br />
morning. We just have to give the birds time to find it. There is <br />
another bird feeder about two yards away.<br />

Went to Uttoxeter Racecourse yesterday with some friends and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
bought a few bits. I didn't really want anything but there were </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
some things that were irrisistable! We had a good day. I saw </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
people I usually see at this show or the FOQ. We got home </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
with empty purses and weary but happy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
