If weird translates to grey and gloomy I would have to agree!

By the by I had a meeting yesterday, and the closure of the Duchy
nursery is
confirmed, the cafe is staying open for now and there will be some
bought in
stock but most of the staff are to be laid off, they will no longer
propagate, pot on or grow plants, all the trees in the adjacent fields
have
now been sold off and nothing is known about what will happen to that
land.
all very depressing.

I am really sorry to hear about Duchy Nursery but thanks for telling us
Charlie.

So am I, especially the job losses. I think it's a huge shame. It will be
a café with some plants for sale, perhaps. In other words, a garden
centre. What a pity.

Suspicion is that it will not remain even a garden centre for long and it
will be all built on.
