There's a new (well, it opened in March apparently, but it's new to me) Barton Grange garden centre at Brock, to the north of Preston and I reckon it's the best in the North West. Every year I rant and rave about Christmas decorations going up too early but the selection of decorations at this place was so incredible that I couldn't resist them - so now they'll have to take their place beside all the others in the loft until the week before Christmas. The other irresistable things about this garden centre are the cakes - massive meringues, gorgeous buttery toasted tea cakes etc etc so we polished off a hearty selection and then made our way to the Plough At Eaves for lunch
The menu was better than the actuality!
After 24 hours of worry yesterday about a certain family member who has his savings with icesave, we were more than a little relieved this morning when our generous Chancellor of the Exchequer promised to bail him out. Thank goodness.
Oscar has us all wrapped around his little finger and here's another picture of him for my good friend Barabara, in New Zealand!
How did you manage to have room for lunch after eating all those cakes at the garden centre?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how the diet was going?

actually - i was shocked because I'd lost more weight than I'd intended to - hence the over indulgence today (including chips from the chip shop tonight). But it's back to rations tomorrow!
