A Sunny Sunday

 

It was a glorious Summery Sunday afternoon today 

and also my friend's birthday so....

I decided to take her to a garden centre

for a cup of tea!

Others were already there...sitting on the deck

enjoying their afternoon tea.

The view from the deck is stunning.....



We could see people feeding the fish in the pond

and so....

 we finished our tea.......

and wandered over

to the platform where there are seats and room

to enjoy the pond

Others were there before us but we attacked sideways over the stepping stones

and leant over to see the fish.

I was tempted to take the fish food off a young lad...

but restrained myself!

The view from the seats, we had managed to grab,

was wonderful......

We decided to walk through the bluebell woods

The person who owns the garden centre ordered

British bluebells........but got....

Spanish bluebells instead....

There is a lot of concern over the Spanish Bluebell Increasing easily and taking over the

British woodland

I have to say, though, that they make an

impressive show

The British variety is much more delicate!

we walked through these man-made woods.....



and looked back...over the ponds

It was getting cooler so we decided to walk back to

the tea room



There were still people sitting outside and enjoying their quiet afternoon tea.

Inside the tearoom ...we took one last look

out of the window

At our lovely Sunday afternoon!!
