I've been enjoying a few days off, and during the week we went for our lunch to one of my favourite places, Willowpool Garden Centre & Tea Rooms. I sometimes take visitors for a look around and an opportunity to enjoy some really great food at a reasonable price. The only problem that I have is finding the right words to describe the place, for Willowpool is more of an experience than anything else. It's the culmination of one man's dream, Sonny, Baron Brunsveld, who turned his passion for collecting into a business, yet still manages to make it look like a passionate hobby.

You can have your food in an African style Rondavel if you like, including the benefit of an outdoor heater on a colder day. Personally I love to eat indoors in the main restaurant which is currently dressed to resemble the most magical grotto imaginable. The food, as well as being very reasonably priced, is wonderful, and especially the desserts which are pure magic in edible form!

How do you describe a place which is more than a Garden Centre, more than a Tea-room, more than an Antique Centre? Well, all you can say is that it's an experience not to be missed! If you get the opportunity to visit the place that I'm so enchanted by then make certain that you don't miss the chance.
