Last week D and I visited Hoar Park Craft and Garden Centre located by Over Whitacre. The main purpose of the visit was to seek some birthday presents for E.
There are several shops there selling antiques, art, vintage items, sweets, and local craft items. It is always a lovely place to visit.
D had fun taking photos of house sparrows visiting a feeding station!
We had lunch in the tea room - toasted cheese and chutney sandwiches with salad and crisps. Sorry I forgot to take a photo!
Then we had a look round the garden centre - David bought an aubergine plant and some seeds and I bought a Hidcote Lavender to replace one I have lost in Herefordshire.
A couple of photos D took of the garden robin. They have already built one nest in ivy on the patio and I hope the young fledged successfully. The robins now seem to be building another nest in the same ivy so fingers crossed for a successful nesting attempt.
Yesterday we had a lovely afternoon out at Stoneleigh Abbey. I was going to combine that post with this but I suspect there will be a lot of photos from the abbey so I will do a second post later in the week.
Photos taken by me with the Panasonic Lumix FZ330 bridge camera and those marked *D taken by my son with the Canon SX50HS bridge camera. (I don't particularly rate my photos but if anyone wishes to use one of mine or my son's I would be grateful for an email first - thanks).
