Half way through winter and according to ancient wisdom, we should all check that we have stores enough to last the rest of the season. We really shouldn’t complain about the chore of shopping when so few of us have to worry about whether or not there’s enough hay in the barn. Here are some candles of a different kind, scenting the whole house in spite of the bitter cold.



There's a pink pot as well; they cost £2.00 each from Lidl.

Your hyacinths looks better than my Nutzilla ravaged ones but they will be okay once they flower. I wish we had a Lidl here. Their application was turned down. We are getting a brand new Sainsbury in two weeks!

It means a drive up the bypass so not exactly round the corner but I'm always amazed at how much I get for my money there.
That Nutzilla. Some people would be looking for a shotgun :-)

I didn't buy any this year and miss their fragrance.
I have Hyacinth Zoflora though :-)

Zoflora doesn't count! :-)

I shouldn't think it's too late to buy a few somewhere.
