We went to Bents- the big garden centre in Glazebury. We  thought the prices were a bit steep- but Glazebury is Cheshire, so I suppose this is where the footballers' wives come to buy their bedding plants. A family of robins has colonised the main building- and there they were- almost close enough to touch- hopping about among the displays. 

I might have bought some pansies- to stiffen up the ranks in the front yard- but I wasn't going to pay twice what I paid for the same product in Wilkinson's in down-at-heel Middleton.

There's a pretty good restaurant. The berry compote or blanchemange or whatever (I chose by sight not off the menu) - was lovely.

Is that statue (which is rather..uhhhh...not artistic)supposed to be Diana the Huntress? It looks like she has a quiver in her back. And what an expression!

I love the grimacing faces in the first photo. Looks like somebody was buying a garden alien.

You look right at home in the swing.
:D

I'm afraid that is supposed to be Diana. Doesn't she look dopey! Definitely not worth £399.
