Algarve garden centre

26 comments

hi guys just got back today from our two week break in the Algarve, the first week i ended up in the clinic over night and a week of illness due to gastro infection after eating something that wasnt to good :o(( that also set my IBS off which made things alot worse, so the first week was awfull,, anyway once i was ok we went to quite a few lovely places one of which was this lovely garden centre, i wanted to bring it all home with me, lol

as you can see the water features and statues were out of this world, would fill my garden with just one lol

i wanted one of these donkeys,:o)) you certainly needed a big wallet for this place, maybe when i win the lottery

this is just a small selection of what they have, some of the palms were so big you would need a crane to lift them and about 2 grand to spare,

all in all this was the best garden centre i have ever seen in my life, dont know why they had such little baskets cause nothing fit in them lol,, hope you all enjoyed this as much as i did guys, glad to be home, next blog is some of the flowers i saw while out and about , take a look at this tree trunk, we called it a rhino tree

What a shame your holiday was spoilt by being so ill. The garden cente looks so tempting, if they were like that over here I would spend even more time in them but maybe wouldn't buy so much if they are so expensive!

thanx PP isnt it amazing, i love the statues to,i was in heaven there lol and just my luck PP to be poorly, a whole week, poor baz to, he was so upset to see me in all that pain in the clinic, said he thought he had lost me awww
yes your right claice, but these dont eat your garden and leave a mess behind them lol

Hey Sandra welcome home - sorry you had a rubbish first week there is nothing worse, we've all been there and it ain't pleasant - I think the customs would have spotted the donkey so just as well you left him behind - How funny would it be if it arrived next week via special delivery from the algarve can you imagine Baz's face
