It's beginning to look a lot like....

that time of year! Another garden centre visit with my parents today and yet more festive treats to wander around!! And this is a garden centre in Essex that has their Christmas Department open from the end of August!! I'm sure the poor staff are well and truly sick of it all by now, but it brings the crowds in and they've even had to extend their car parking spaces this year as it gets so busy at weekends especially!

happy to report that no Xmas items were bought by any of us - just some primroses for the garden and indoor plants that I'll do my best not to kill despite a lousy track record!
