Bents

[poliphilo]

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.

That first shot is priceless! The giant alien would be for those who feel that gnomes are passé, I suppose?

The statue has the drollest expression and the shot of you in the swing is one of the nicest photos of you that I've seen. :)

Thanks.

I'd love to know what the alien was doing there. This dismembered specimen was the only one of its kind in evidence.
