Green retail therapy

When I'm not gardening at the weekend, my favourite place for a coffee is the green emporium that is Burford Garden Company in the Cotswolds.

I love everything about that place: it's spacious, full of beautifully arranged plants and there's a fabulous café with delicious cakes. 

I picked up a few seed packets, seashell mulch and an orange amaryllis.

It was a great way to beat the November blues on a very dreich day!
