Nice pics too.

Lol you did nt look hairy to me hehe, I have got that film so sad is nt it.

thanks Karen..it was a great day out.we have been friends for 32 years,and really missed them when they moved.We make up for the laughs when we meet up...

glad you liked them Joanella,we managed to find time to have a bit of retail therapy too,and a lovely lunch.:o))

Thanks Hywel,it is good to be nutty sometimes, Lol.

well,you have to try and look your best in front of the camera ! or in our case,hide behind something..:o)))

what a lovely place ~ and what lovely friends
i loved those fountains ~ water and music ~ how fabulous! that stream and the gardens look well worth visiting! is it an easy place to find ~ i havent been to lincolnshire but would like to go
im just wondering if those visitors in the stripy grasses are still there? and are there still 3 scarecrows? now all covered in frost??

Lovely blog Bloomer, it looked like a nice day out with good company too!

Brill blog and photos enjoyed looking at them.

that's a surprisingly nice place to visit, despite being a shopping centre, doesn't look like any shopping centre I've ever been to, nice pics.

Thanks Sticki..you would love it there,and they have a small garden centre too.It is easy to find,and just going north on the outskirts of Spalding town.It is also marked on one of those big AA road map books,but you could google it.I think the 'original' scarecrow may have taken refuge inside now,..Iknow all the others have...Lol

Glad you enjoyed it,Grandmage..We would definitely go again,if in the area...

Thank you Clarice...nice to see a bit of summer again...

We were surprised too,as they are usually soulless places,but they have got the right idea there..pity a lot of the others don't follow suit.....Thank you...:o))

thanks for directions bloomer ~ i now have a wish list of plants and another for places to go! shan't get bored shall i?

great photos Bloomer, glad you shared them with us, looks like the 4 of you had a great time.

How lovely to see some pics with flowers and GREEN grass, all laid out so beautifully such a refreshing change from all those snowy pictures. Roll on summer and more fun at the GC for everyone!

Oh what a lovely blog I had forgotten what Summer looks like, really cheered me up, it looks a fab garden centre and your friends look like a lot of fun too;0)

You certainly will,Sticki..lots of nice plans to make :o))

Glad you enjoyed them Yorkshire..a good fun day..

I agree Lily2,we will just have to keep looking forward.Shortest day soon,so we will soon be on the right road again..:o)

glad it cheered you up,Carole..shame its a bit far for us all to go on a day out...

Lovely pics there, Bloomer ...
I especially like the waterfall and the scarecrows ! :o)

Thanks Terra, the waterfall was pretty,with the sculptured fish..and as for Freeman,Hardy,and Willis...!!!.Well,dafter with age ,as they say..Lol.

What a delight that place is! Thanks for showing us, especially now when it's sooooooo cold. :-)

Thank you Spritz,glad you liked it..oh to be hiding in the Miscanthus again...but maybe I will wait till next summer .Lol.
