Still in the garden centre
yes, they still do that in some places here... not as many as it used to be, but still quite a few.. especially the garden centres.. The one I took these photos from they also have an ice rink during the Christmas season, and in summer they have a Miniature railways train... which is very popualr with arents and kids..These photos remind me of the old family owned department stores in the city center when I was a kid.

this is like the one in Hyde park every year...The Center City.
In the 70s, I worked in the center building and ate my lunch in this park almost every day. The building is now home to some very spendy apartments.
