I walked into the garden centre today to purchase some grass seed and to my horror was confronted with the sight of Christmas wrapping paper and boxes of cards............it was a splendid summers day today , I didn't want my mind turned to thoughts of winter !!.............has anyone else spotted signs of Christmas in the shops yet or is my local garden centre being a bit bl**dy eager ?

Mind you.........the shop was also full of spring bulbs but that didn't have the same crushing feeling on me as the dreaded wrapping paper...........lol

It wasn't as if it was even nice wrap : ( it was poohey old winnie the pooh stuff left over from last year I reckon . And I bet the envelopes on the cards would have been sealed up with damp................lol

That's scary! I haven't even thought past the first of September yet! (Christmas is still just under 18 weeks away, if I've counted up correctly.)
