There was much discussion about whether it was the 27th Feb. or the 27th July.  The weather was wonderful for our first Day Trip of 2019.  57 boarded the coach and headed for the  Bellis Bros. Garden Centre in Wrexham.  Time to wander through a wide range of goods and very reasonably priced Primulas, Wild Primroses etc.   A visit to the Coffee Shop and a chat. Some sat on the terrace  outside in this glorious weather with some lovely Welsh views.  Time passed quickly and we re boarded our coach and travelled the short distance to the 18thC Carden Arms Inn Tilston Nr.Malpas,  Cheshire. 
After pre course drinks we had a very tasty 3 course lunch followed by tea/coffee in their restaurant. The staff were efficient, cheerful and friendly and the Chefs could be seen through the open plan hatch by some, preparing our food. This is a proud boast of this Hostelry – all food is freshly cooked to order.  There was then a chance to sit outside in the sunshine in this quaint village.  Soon it was time to think about our return journey.  Arriving back at the Square no one mentioned “what’s for tea?”  Thanks to Marj for all her work for a very successful and enjoyable day trip.   Tony Kneebone
