Garden Centre

At the weekend we went to the garden centre. They used to have tropical fish on sale. We walked down the side of the shop where they used to be but there was nothing there.
We sometimes have a meal there, so while we were in the restaurant we asked about the fish. We were told that they've closed the fish bit and are going to use the space for garden furniture. I think the place is being taken over by a chain. It was a small independent place and there aren't many of those around. We were also told that someones taking over the catering too, it's going to be run by a different company.

There are quite a few similar places, such as Melbicks near the airport. Its a tricky place to get to though. Its by a dual carriageway but you can only get there from one direction. They closed the cut-through a couple of years ago - you used to be able to get across there but now you've got to drive all the way to the roundabout.
