12) Pimbo Garden Centre, Pimbo

Thank you very much for all your kind comments.  I understand that it's natural to want to know more about me and for me to be an inspiration to you.  But as I have said before, please do not attempt to copy my work, its dangerous.  Please focus your energies in more postive ways.

While I am enjoing my home made Victoria Sponge and tea from the  Pimbo Garden Centre - £2.50.  I know it's home made because she told me so.  And it tastes it too.  She says that she did not make it otherwise the Fire Service would have attended the scene.  There's nothing to read but the Lancashire Life.  Now I always think that this is a bit of an odd magazine. There's not that much life in Lancashire, surely that it needs a whole magazine.    Most of it is filled with adverts  for fabulous houses in Lancashire, obviously occupied by the sort of person who can afford cake in the Boatman's Brasserie.  But the other strange bit is the social pages where estate agents and other 'professionals' are photographed in the middle of some function or other.  There's even a picture of a group of toffs at a masquerade ball.  I mean, what sort of twerp would go around with a mask on.   Don't they know how ridiculous they look.

Anyway the cake is good and so is the tea. The place is bright and airy.  

You can't get here by bus so don't even bother. You can get the train to Pimbo, it's the line between Kirkby and Wigan.
