Tuesday 9th November 2010 – Garden Centres and Rye

As it was another wet and windy day, we decided to go down to the garden centre instead of the zoo. On the way through High Halden we stopped at The Snake Shed. It is usually closed when we drive past. They have some gorgeous snakes there, amongst other things. Just keep saying “no”.

We went on to Tenterden Garden Centre. Their Christmas display is no where near as good as Bybrook Barn's. I got a few more ideas for Christmas presents. Then we went on to the aquatics shop. Unfortunately the spa shop was closed. It is not open on Mondays and Tuesdays, and then only open 10 until 2.

We then went on to Rye, the scenic route. Our first stop was The Queen's Head which has been under new management since May. They had Dark Star Expresso. They also said they often have Crofters from the FILO. It's very rare to find anything from the FILO outside of their premises. They weren't serving dinner so we just had the one drink and moved on to the Union Inn. The food was lovely. Dave had a 3 cheese ploughman's and I had scampi and chips. I have a feeling that the food is better here than it would have been at the Queen's Head anyway.
