This is the little shop inside the nursery.
A paradise for young girls! It sells fairy statues, soft toy fairies, windchimes, mobiles, cards, cushions, mirrors, purses, bracelets, rings, polished stones, etc et. The list seems vitually endless.
It’s great to look around, but go alone with a child or make sure your purse is loaded, because it is a little pricey, hence no fifth star.

The Courtyrad is a collection of converted stables that house various art studios/sales rooms and unusual collections for sale.
Yesterday we went into 'Over the Rainbow’, which is a plant nursery and a shop selling a little girl’s fairyland.
I’ve always got to look around a nursery and I hadn’t been in this one for a while. It has changed hands.
It’s is a good job it decided to pour with rain just as we got there, because many of the plants were dry, some had fallen over in the wind and there was a general feel of nobody having been there.
The plants didn’t seem to be categorised, but I chose a convolvulus and another whose name escapes me, and ran into the shop. We were kindly invited to stay until the down pour finished, which we wanted to do and have a look around.
When I got home, I was a bit sad to see how root bound the plants I’d bought were. At least they’ll thrive now.

This is a good family pub/restaurant. There’s a good beer garden with stuff for kids to do.
The pub itself is nicely turned out and the service is very good.
They did do a pub quiz weekly, not sure if that’s still going.
I stopped coming here because I kept meeting people I knew, and it is so jam packed.
It has won awards. If you have children, it’s worth trying.

A cosy country, old pub. Wooden beams, real fire.
Great food, small and large plates, and a lovely atmosphere.
Very good service and lots of parking.
