Cheshire cat is here

Garden centres are fascinating places to visit even if you're just browsing, or even just to visit the tea room which most of the centers do have these days. In fact that was the prime reason to visit Coolings again today. Their tea room is very good indeed, serving lunches as well.

Looking around, I was surprised to find the Cheshire cat figure and a coincidence as well since I was in Guildford recently visiting Lewis Carroll 's Alice through the looking glass sculpture. Cheshire cat is a character from his novel Alice in Wonderland of course.

There were characters from other stories too, like Jungle Book.

An impressive life size horse model is an eye catcher and looks good in this setting.
