Yesterday
afternoon I was consumed by a need to get out of the house. Anywhere!
So
I went to a winter wonderland. Actually
it’s a local garden centre but I know they usually have something special for
children and the Big Kid inside me needed a bit of childishness.
This
particular Garden Centre plays very fair I think, as the wonderland bit isn’t
near many things which would provoke a five year old’s “I want”. There’s a train to ride on and doubtless the
elderly bearded gentleman will make an appearance at weekends closer to
Christmas but there are no toys etc in the vicinity.
There’s a trio of polar bears playing seasonal music.
And a bear with a hand at a useful height for a child to have a photo taken.
The reindeer are getting in training for flying
Even
if this reindeer seems to have more of a taste for sherry than carrots.
What a lovely place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI think I had the same expression on my face as the reindeer when I walked in the door today to find hubby ripping the kitchen apart!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place! I love that big bear! That reindeer looks a bit like me in the morning!
ReplyDeleteSpelling mistake in the previous comment!
ReplyDeleteI find that it is all happening too early. The lovely thing about our little corner of France was that nothing began before about 10th Dec.
