Baubles & Beads.

I took my friend out for her lunch today at Barton Grange Garden Centre for her birthday.
A lovely lunch with a glass of wine each & we both had apricot bread & butter pudding & custard to finish with!
Christmas is in full swing there with every tree & decoration you could wish for, I think the colours get gaudier every year!!

I completely forgot to do @annemary 's challenge of taking someone at work after asking permission....next time I go out Anne Mary!!

Three good things:
1. A really lovely happy chat with my friend who has been so ill over the last couple of years & seems to be lots better.
2. As we came out of the restaurant we saw Jack who had just been for a second interview re a part time job there so fingers crossed!
3. The roof is covered with tiles & although not finished will be hopefully withstanding this torrential rain & wind.
Beautiful & bright display in a garden centre !!!-- but not for my home especially at Christmas I am very much a traditionalist with -Gold ,red & green in my home !!

I like the bright colours! Glad your friend is much better.

I'm not keen on the bright pink but I suppose it will catch on with the younger set. Glad you had a good lunch out with your friend.

Such a fun display of Christmas ornaments! Love the colors! I see some delightful fish that Harper would love.
Your lunch sounds wonderful, as do your three good things. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Jack and the job!

Wow, that is bright! I cannot believe it is almost Christmas .... again! And the thought of that apricot bread & butter pudding ... sigh!!!

Haha - In your first blurb you didn't mention anything about fish -and I thought your lunch consisted of just wine and desserts. And that would have been a grand celebration in my book!

Nice shot. Love all the colors.

Sounds like it was a very nice lunch, and they do have a great selection to choose from

I agree, every year it is way more neon...trying to outdo the year before and keep us buying...which works opposite for me...

Can't believe Christmas! What roof has been tiled? Hope it's not your house roof with the rain!
