Holidays

An old market town, now it well, lots of nice places, try a walk on 'The race course'

Thanks Heron we will have a look round Oswestry one day,but we are actually nearer LLangollen which we went to which is beautiful ...We want to take the time one day and go to Caerfernon Castle but it is 1.30 hours drive from here..

you are about 40 mins from brigemere garden world and the dorothy clive garden which has a plant hunting fair on this weekend (they have a website).
Also you are near Ellesmere the lakes are lovely to walk around..Try Conway castle and llandudno. Betsycoed Is not too far and worth a visit. There are also two lovely areas near llangollen - Worlds End and the horseshoe pass.

Cheers Kfunsters will have a look ..

Have a nice time.

Have a wonderful time Mushy ,, all the Pheasants and Ducks will be safe for the time being ... LOL...

Thanks Clarice and Amy..
Just been for a walk by Chirk bank aqueduct and there's lots of ducks and geese there, and in the cottage where we are staying theres sheep...
I like a bit of lamb more than pheasant .........:o))))

So do I Mushy , Lamb hot pot with dumplings , yummy watch out sheepsies .... :o))

Blimey Kfunsters you must know the area well, doubt she'll have time to see all that though you and I know that you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere nicer. Just one thing, If you go to Ellesmere don't call 'em lakes ;-))
Not keen on Bridgemere since it was sold but I saw the add in the paper for Dorothy Clive Garden where I encountered my first Dierama. love to go again. It has individual personality written all over it, a bit like Hodnet Gardens, not far away.

I live not far from bridgemere - always checking out their sales spot lol, otherwise I rarely buy from there too expensive, there are many other nurseries in the locality that are much more reasonable. I went to Stapeley Water Gardens today as I saw a poster saying Water lily clearance - well the sale was on at the nursery beds at the back - been there loads of times I didn't know this bit existed as it isn't usually open to the public. It was very unkept but consisted of loads of water filled metal trays filled with water plants many weed filled and over grown. There were 2 nursery men there that were very very helpful after money exchanged I came away a very happy pond owner with lots of bargain plants and a yellow lily - I dont think they had been busy and were pleased to see me.

I have Dieramas if you haven't any Mushy , you are welcome to some when I split them .....
