When she first moved here, Joan could never quite bring herself to say it, so despite us using its name, she would pointedly use it’s official name of The Old Railway Line Garden Centre. (Welsh garden centre of the, every year, since 1850 (or so it seems) – Ed.)

“I don’t want any more ***** baubles”

Spoilt for choice.
“I need lights “. Says Joan.
