Garden Cafe Dog Walkers Club!.

Today at the Etherow Garden Centre Cafe, Owner Maggie in collaboration with friend Jean had put on a lovely birthday spread for Jean's daughter Jacqui, who had come back home to Jean's for her birthday this week!.

Earlier in the week we had been to the Hare and  Hounds at Werneth Low for a meal and then on to Reddish Vale to see the local wildlife where we met friends Mary and Peter and Sasha the Collie.

Enjoying a coffee at the Info Centre

You can see why its called the dog walkers club hey!, they are all friends as well.

Jacqui, Peter and Button with the Stockport viaduct in the background.

And a rest at the lake side.

Today's spread at the Garden Centre Cafe, all the decorations provided and made by Maggie.

Thanks Maggi.

Lots of choice.

We even had a bit of music with my Bose Mini Link on the table on the left there.

Button wants to join in!

Another pressie!.

Mary and Peter.

Tucking in .

A beautiful birthday cake, pity we didn't get a picture before it was attacked!.

Big Al and Colin from the Model Boat club, regular customers now at the buttie wagon on their sailing days.

Here is the splendid Buttie wagon in the Garden centre car park.

The Menu!.

Even George from the boat club arrived with his poorly legs!.

I wasn't going to say the ladies age, well you don't ask do you,!, but its hard not to notice isn't it with all the decorations, bunting and balloons Maggie had put up!.

Certainly doesn't look it does she!!.

So its another day out for Mum and daughter tomorrow before she goes home south hopefully to a better climate than the Rainy City, Manchester, but being a true Mancunian I'm bias anyway!.

So if you'r stuck for somewhere to have your next birthday celebration try the Etherow Garden Centre Cafe, I'm sure Maggie will sort you out, or just call in for a cuppa and a snack from the menu above.

 You never know you might find a plant in the unusual selection on display, I know I have in the past!.

A friend in need is a pain in the Bum!!

I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists somewhere else in the universe is that none of it has bothered to contact us!.

  I went live on the internet myself the other day- I was plugging in my modem and got my fingers stuck in the plug!.

It's the way I tell em!.

Tuesday, 4th July 2017.

Met a few of the mates at the Garden Centre Cafe today, had a good chat, putting the world to rights

Friend Jean had taken this photo earlier, the view from the Garden Centre Cafe.


 Then had a walk down to the landing stage to see the members there.

The Body guard!.

A couple of mutants, nice colours though.

Went back to the GC Cafe just in time to see the new gazebo had arrived and Maggie and Ryan were putting it up.

Fills the whole seating area and though it looks a bit dark here there are going to be lights inside and on the tables.

Still meeting people who have been in the Lakeside cafe and are not happy with the new up market menu and prices!.

In case you missed the new GC Cafe Menu ( Maggie's Place) here it is again!.

More like the down to earth fayre we Northerners are used to, a walk round the park and a cuppa and a Bacon/Sausage Barm or what ever to round off the day!.

............................................................................................

An apple a day keeps the doctor way,

But an onion does the job for a week!.

Due to a mix up in Urology, orange juice will not be on the menu this morning.

Harry got threw out of the hospital, because he took a turn for the nurse!

It's the way I tell em!.
