After our walk around Huntingdon we decided a cup of coffee was very much needed so we went to the Huntingdon Garden Center. I could spend about a week there! The store itself has everything from flowers & plants, garden & patio, gifts of all kinds, yarn & needlework, pets of all varieties & more than I can remember!
We headed first to the back where there is a "self serve cafeteria" along with guess what? A Starbucks! After indulging in cappuccino & hot chocolate we took a walk around outside.
These are just some of the outdoors plants
Flower pots as far as the eye could see!
These are conservatories - sun rooms!
More flower pots
Decorative edging & pavers
Every choice of garden decor
Fountains & ponds
See why I could spend a week there?
We later celebrated Shrove Tuesday in a time honored tradition of making pancakes. They are very different to american pancakes & probably closer resemble crepes as they are very thin & slightly crispy on the edges. You sprinkle them with brown sugar & lemon juice & roll them up. Yum Yum!
