The first
Sunday in June, 2024
We went to the garden centre. The sun seemed to have encouraged people to venture out and it was quite busy. A shiny,
smart Morgan was parked in the sun. Beautiful to look at but those who know
proclaim it to be the most uncomfortable car imaginable.This chap
had decided to take a rest on a handy bench and watch the world go by.A
wandering stag stopped by to keep him company.This
looked like a bird house, a dovecote, but maybe it was a feeding station or
simply something decorative for the garden that has everything.A fine
timepiece.A closer
look.
We did buy some compost, some seeds and one plant!
oh my goodness. That's my kind of car.
ReplyDeleteI put a search for a convertible Morgan in youtube and saw tthis video:

Definitely on my "when-i'm-rich" list.
:)
It is a car for the young . . .
DeleteThe time piece is too high tech for me. I just want a simple sundial that tells the time.
ReplyDeleteBit big for the wrist, isn't it?
DeleteModern gardens have become so much more than plants, in fact many modern gardens don't have much growing in them. I prefer an old fashioned garden with different things growing.
ReplyDeleteGardens are for growing and for bees, butterflies and birds.
DeleteI would have bought the monkey ! It would fit perfectly on a bench in our park !
ReplyDeleteI thought he looked so jolly.
Delete65 years ago, when my brother was in primary school, he would have loved the Morgan that was parked in the sun. He still might now :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lines, but not a lot in the way of comfort.
DeleteHow enjoyable to see this place. I love seeing gardens of all types. And just think, a deer that is NOT going to eat the place down, lol.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a bonus - deer are beautiful but they do eat everything, as you know.
DeleteAren't garden centres selling quirky stuff these days? Always good for a mooch and a nice cup of coffee.

It's just nice to go somewhere that someone else is looking after ;-)
DeleteWhat a cool garden center! That chimp had me going for a minute!
ReplyDeleteIt's very lifelike - great fun.
DeleteThe chimp is a cheery little character. We do have a bird bath and seed feeder and three hummingbird feeders but no garden ornaments. I'm curious what plant you purchased.
ReplyDeleteYou have humming birds - green with envy - no chance here, sadly.
DeleteWe're especially fortunate to have Anna's hummingbirds; they stay year round.
DeleteIt's fun to visit the nursery to see what kind of whimsical pieces you can add to your garden.
ReplyDeleteResisting is often difficult ;-)
DeleteHowever did you resist buying the monkey?
ReplyDeleteNo room. He'd be lost in the jungle.
DeleteI always enjoy a visit to a garden centre, you never know what you may see ... although ours hasn't a chimpanzee :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
He was certainly an attention grabber.
DeleteI did a double take when I saw that monkey. SO lifelike!
ReplyDeleteWell made, I think, and looked so cuddly.
DeleteThat reminds me, we haven't been to the garden centre for far too long. The one we frequent would have quite similar things on offer, although I doubt there would be a Morgan in their parking lot! xxx
ReplyDeleteYou'd need a large garden for some of the things on offer!
DeleteSo many things to tempt!
ReplyDeleteSo many things to resist . . .
