..that my local Boots now stocked Philosophy? And that I didn't need to visit John Lewis in Newcastle just to get my sniffing fix??
Well it came as a very nice surprise while out on my lunch break today hoping to get a pot of the L'Oreal make-up primer I'd tried in a copy of Marie-Claire.
A few more items came home to live with me, including the limited edition 15 ml size of Hope in a Jar which I wanted to try on my skin without forking out the £30+ price for the usual size.
Some Microdelivery face wash to try, and the new Summer Grace fragrance tester.
I was most impressed with the range on offer, and soon I will have enough Boots points to treat myself to a big sized bottle of the 3-in-1 shower, bath shampoo - do I go for Melon Daiquiri a previous favourite, Coconut Frosting or Raspberry Sorbet... Then again there is always my favourite, Inner Grace.
Anyway, I will definitely be trying my Hope in a Jar tonight plus the Microdelivery face wash. :D
Also I managed to snap some of the pots in the garden tonight between sun and rain and also after waging further war against the green fly that have set up camp on my roses and clematis - they are persistent little buggers, especially now all the ladybirds have gone awol.
I do love this time of year when azaleas and rhododendrons are coming out.
The dwarf yellow ones are doing rather well.
The dwarf pinks had a loss in number...
The big pink one only seems to have one proper flower bud at the moment. The other buds could be leaves, but I can't recall how this one looked last year when I got it. So it'll be a nice surprise once it does open up.
Just a shame about the return of frosty mornings after all that nice weather. The roses are loving the weather and thriving, my spring bulbs are a bit less enthusiastic!
Also I can't believe I've still not had chance to post the photos I took at Easter. I think I need to get some of them printed ready for my scrappy weekend away at the end of April - but there are quite a few photos I should get printed for that!
