M+S and the Arium

Didn’t we have a lovely day the day we went to Leeds last Wednesday?

35 of us first headed to Marks and Spencer Archives in the grounds of Leeds University, where we all enjoyed a cuppa and heard about how Mr. Michael Marks met Mr. Tom Spencer who, together, started their penny bazaar and the rest is history.

After lunch in the city we made our way to the ‘Arium’, an amazing plant nursery, one of the largest in the country, and operated by Leeds city council.

We started off with an interesting guided tour of the greenhouses and were then escorted to the restauraant where we were treated to a sumptuous never ending afternoon tea, then groaning with over indulgence and complete with doggy bags we headed for home.

 

Sunday Lunch Group

By now all my regular “Lunchers” will be aware that, unfortunately, this month was the last lunch outing for the foreseeable future owing to a medical problem I have.

Thank you all very much for supporting this group, you have made my efforts worthwhile.  Thank you also for the card and the beautiful plant I was presented with last Sunday at The Royal. I hope it will last for a long time and will be a lovely reminder of our outings.
