Today I took my grandparents to a garden centre (that they love visiting) for lunch. Despite the drizzle that showered every once in a whole, it was a lovely day.
First we had some lunch, then came the fun part - exploring the shop!
I'm quite sad when it comes to this kind of thing, and I love looking at all the different coloured flowers and the patterns they make.
I also love the cute little bits and bobs you find in a garden centre that you won't find anywhere else. You know the type. The unique, chic, homely kind. What you can't find in one of these shops, isn't worth finding! (Slight exaggeration, of course).
The garden centre in question had a whole corner dedicated to Yankee Candles. Now, I for one love the assortment of smells and colours, but despite this, I find them rather over priced. So, today I just enjoyed the sights and smells they had to offer.
I ventured off on my own, leaving my Nan choosing which candle she was going to buy to discover the canvases with quotes, cute little owl ornaments, and other statues/candles. If I had all the money I wanted, I would have bought one of almost everything here.
When we finished shopping my gramps presented my Nan with a choice of two packages. He wouldn't show or tell us what they were. My Nan chose one, and I had the other. It was a car air freshener. Not just any air freshener...a Yankee candle air freshener.
I'd never heard of the 'Sand and sun' fragrance before, but after opening it and placing it in my car, I love it.
Whever I go, and whatever the weather, it smells like summer at the beach in my car - perfect.
What a lovely day.
