Jackie and I journeyed to Crews Hill. We wanted a decent Acer, but despite having "the largest concentration of garden centres in Europe", plants were a bit thin on the ground. We could have bought any amount of home- or garden- nick-nacks, and at Woldens we encountered possibly the rudest shop manager in the country. After three hours scouring Crews Hill we returned home with a Honeysuckle, a Clematis, and an Ivy.

The weather stayed fine and we spent the entire afternoon and evening in the garden - our first real "gardening day" of the year.
