I saw this artistic autumn display at the Beetham Garden Centre back in October and couldn't resist a photograph. Now I'm wishing I'd taken some pictures of the mounds and varieties of the new season English apples on display nearby to complete this entry, it was an apple lovers delight. This was our last stop on a round of garden centres looking for a particular plant. I'm easily diverted in a 'oh look pretty plant' type of buying but my companion was on a mission for a type of camellia. We called it a day here as the Beetham Garden Centre, their tea shop was calling.
We'd had no success here earlier in the day, this is the giant Hayes Garden Centre in Ambleside which is Christmas decorations central in autumn so the crowds were inside, it was rather peaceful out here among the plants, just the splashing of the fountain. It was interesting to see that the globe view is a version of
McArthur’s Universal Corrective Map with Australia on the top, no longer down under.
While looking back to autumn in winter thoughts turn to spring

Beautiful gardens! I just might AMBLE up your way next time I'm over in England. Want to go to the Lake District after a stop in Liverpool again to visit Di (from ABCW).

I had a camellia bush outside my bedroom window growing up. Was disappointed when the new owners pulled it out.
