NEW DAY TRIP
This time we are off to the interesting, historic County of Lancashire. We will pay a visit first to the Bay View Garden Centre, which is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and one of the best kept secrets nestled on the Lancashire Coast. With stunning views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District, there is everything you would expect to find in a top Garden Centre together with a reasonably priced Potting Shed Restaurant, serving light snacks, tea/coffee, delicious cakes and lunches. On a nice day there is a lovely terrace to sit out on. Then we will travel on to Leighton Hall, still the home of the Gillow family of the Waring and Gillow furniture fame. Situated on the Lancashire/Cumberland border, this beautiful home is a delight to visit (you can touch and sit whatever/wherever) and we will have an entertaining guided tour with time to see their wonderful gardens.. There is a falconry display during the afternoon,( weather permitting) and then time for a cup of tea/coffee/cakes in their restaurant before we depart for home

Glass Workshop
New window for Maghull Station
Our U3A ‘glass workshop’ folk have just had their latest creation installed in the station waiting room and a very nice feature it is.

A big ‘well done’ to all those involved.
