Wisbech

When Amanda and I were planning our day trips for the week at the end of April/ beginning of May, we had a really random way of doing so.  I mentioned that I would like to go to Wells and Walsingham and Amanda had discovered that there were four wool and fabric shops in Wisbech (although we only found the one plus a wool stall on the market!) so we decided to have a "W" holiday.  That was all the planning that went into it and all the other things we had on our list - Wherryman's Way, Woodbridge, Walberswick, etc - were abandoned anyway.  I don't think we'll be planning like that again!

Mum came with us too and insisted she couldn't look at anything before stocking up on chocolate levels first!

I'm not sure that I'll be visiting Wisbech again - it's a nice enough town, but quite run down.  Lots of pound shops, a few clothes shops, some hardware stores, a couple of health food shops. Nice enough to visit, but no need to go back again.

However, it does have a rather lovely church in the centre with some really interesting gardens.

I really liked the way that the old gravestones had been incorporated into the gardens.

And the plants were fabulous.

The area around the church grounds was lovely with a walled kitchen garden too.

A lovely day out with Mum and Amanda, but probably not one to be repeated!
