Days Out...

Lymm Dam & High Legh Garden Centre

Today Mum suggested we do something to take advantage of the beautiful weather, so we decided to go for a walk. I've never been to Lymm Dam before and have heard it's pretty, so we drove there and had a wander. It was quite busy, with a few picnicers, and we went into the town of Lymm as well, which was really cute with a little stream running through it and some gorgeous cottages. I relived my childhood and had a Ribena lolly from the ice cream van, and then we drove on to High Legh Garden Centre.

I've never been, and was surprised at how huge it is, especially when High Legh is a tiny village! We had a look around, they had lots of concessions selling interesting knick knacks, but nothing that I was interested in buying (a blessing given my current finances!).

Mum got a voucher for 2 for 1 on afternoon teas there, so we sat down and ordered. It wasn't anything grand, but then for £6.99 we didn't expect it. It was pleasant enough though, 4 sandwiches each (egg, tuna, cheese and ham) accompanied by ginger tea bread, Victoria sponge and a scone with jam and cream. Generous portions; the cakes were a little large if anything, I felt quite sick after eating it all! Luckily we had left wandering around the outside garden section so got some fresh air before drivin back home. A lovely little jaunt out!
