British garden centres have become destinations for the retired, at some of them you are hard pushed to find any plants. Our local one is still very good at selling flowers and compost and has an excellent cafe as a bonus.

Which garden centre is it?

Cyclists too, apparently. I kept an eye on Kajsa Tylen's year long cycling assault on Billy Fleming's most miles in a year record and her video diaries invariably mentioned garden centres where she fuelled up on scones.

I've been working on my new pond but it's hot work so I've stopped for a cold drink... it was going to be an ice cream but I think I need to motivation to do a bit more!

Its Palmers in Enderby by the Police HQ. Before 10am they do a roll with any three fillings and a hot drink for £3.75. An absolute bargain.

Thought it might be a Palmers, they do the same at the one in Ullesthorpe.

Cleared a bit of our pond and topped it up earlier, still full of frogs and newts

This garden centre café thing, is it a Midlands thing? It's a fairly unlikely café stop in London.

It's pretty much all over. You'll be telling us next that your garden centres don't even have Cotton Traders outlets.

Three hours work in the garden, had crispy aromatic duck about an hour ago, cleaned the cooker and gave the kitchen floor its annual mopping. A very productive day so I feel I can relax now. I have just remembered that the pub has a beer garden

Yep, @dave r is a regular at the Ullesthorpe one. I think the Enderby one has a better range of cream cakes though.

Back. I may have visited the pub after the fair. I may also have just consumed boiled eggs and soldiers

For the first time this year I took my orchids outside in the sunshine and gave them a thorough soak in rainwater.

Just arrived in Deal for fish and chips before a trip to Sainsbury's then home to collapse.
