Bank Holiday at the garden centre.

This little trainee disabled dog was getting maximum attention today at the garden centre.

Stocked up with bacon, hash browns, chicken breasts etc, plus lettuce & cabbage seeds, a lavender plant & a small string of solar lights to put over the trellis.
Emptied the freezer to see what we had in the depths below & generally had a sort out of supplies for the imminent visit of four extra.

Three good things:
1. I managed to scan & send a document to NZ.
2. Watching the three Queens sail up the River Mersey.
3. A lie in this morning!

A super candid capture. Must have been amazing to see the 3 "Queens"together. Saw them on the news this evening

[Bep]

Nice capture, Pat.

[Pat Knowles]

@carolmw I only saw them on the TV too Carol......would love to have gone myself but didn't organise myself soon enough. Liverpool is a place I hardly know even living not too far away...would have been nervous to drive there & not know where to park.

I must read up on the three Queens - I've only heard something about the Red Arrows. That's a very cute tired pup.

[Peggy Sirk]

Love this shot of the activity in the garden center. And that pup-in-training is too sweet for words!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely candid shot Pat . -- In my ignorance I had to google the "three Queens "to find out what you were referring to !! I also popped to a local, family - run garden centre this afternoon and purchased some new plants and shrubs , compost , plant food etc ! And had Gary to take the compost to the back garden and the plants to the greenhouse for the night !!

Allsorts of goodies at the garden centre and not a plant in sight..sweet dog, these dogs are amazing, I know a young girl that has one to alert her when she is about to have an epileptic fit, so as to give her time to get to a safe place... lovely shot

[Jocasta]

That little puppy is so gorgeous. I WANT ONE!

[Margaret Pengelly]

These dogs are doing wonderful things for people. Saw a wonderful clip on of facebook of a golden retriever supporting a young carcrash victim . Incredible devotion to duty.

Pat markets are always full of so much activity. Nice shot

[Al Bailey]

Ahhhh .... my favourite place for breakfast! lol
Lovely candid photo :)

[Maggiemae]

Your inside shots are always so bright - wouldn't be a flash - just the correct settings and a steady hand! I can never get plant seeds to take - buy the small plants already half grown.

[Phil Howcroft]

isn't it about time your garden centre got it's christmas stock out Pat. It was cold enough today !!!

[Judith Johnson]

Good on you for having a lie-in! We popped into the garden centre today too, then had a walk in some nearby woods.

[Barbara Paquette]

Now you KNOW I love this shot! Seriously you can buy bacon at a garden centre?!?

[Babs]

Lovely shot and it looks as though some fabulous purchases can be made at your garden centre.

[Joyce]

Love our local garden centre it also has a farm shop so you can stock up oncology grown produce. This looks a great shop Pat.

[Rick Schies]

A busy place for sure

[Matt Clendon]

The pup in training steals the show. Adorable.

[Pat Knowles]

@bpaquette Yes Barbara this garden centre has a massive farm shop selling everything from gorgeous cakes to veg & fruit.....it has a large butchers & all sorts of special things to eat & drink!

[Gena Pegg]

Ohhh...sweet baby! He's all tuckered out! Great candids and sounds like you made quite a haul!!

[Margaret Obey]

Lucky you to see it. I watched on television. It's never the same. Looks like a great shop.

[Pat Knowles]

@ceilidh oh I only watched on TV too Margaret...if I had organised myself properly I would have gone.

[Hazel]

A good BH candid at the garden centre. We cannot buy bacon or chicken at ours. Those little dogs are always lovely to see, make a fuss of, and sometimes photograph!
