JKRS house clearance is supposed to provide the people of Liverpool with quality second hand…read morefurniture which can brighten up their home or apartment. This turns out to not be the case at all I'm afraid and this place was something of a letdown. Moving house again this year has meant that I have been on the hunt for various household items and this has led me to some interesting stores and this particular establishment will live long in the memory. The first thing to say is that the sign for the store was falling apart and it did not give me high hopes of what I may find inside. It turned out that my negativity was justified as the furniture was poor quality and the shop was generally in a state of disarray. On the whole I can think of many places you should visit before resorting to this establishment.

Rivendell is THE garden centre as far as I'm concerned. A massive selection of flowers, plants,…read morebulbs, seeds, luxurious sheds, other garden accessories and a wonderful cafe. What more can one ask? The last time I ate in the cafe, which can get very hot as its all glass, a robin was dancing across tables and saying hello to people. Unhygienic perhaps but great nonetheless. The food, as a rule, is lovely, but they stop serving hot meals at 2pm - unless you want to get stuff that's been sitting out, eat as close to then as possible. My fiancee and I bought a converter thingymajig for around two quid allowing us to turn run of the mill 2 litre plastic bottles into birdfeeders. An invention of Dragons Den proportions, and a handy way of not spending a bundle on containers to feed tits and things. For gardeners this place is a must, in my opinion. Its one drawback, I think, the toilets are a bit of a trek from the cafe. For pensioners or those with mobility issues, this can prove a problem.

I am a rather large fan of garden centres; I don't know why, maybe because whenever I seem to go to…read moreone I'm all relaxed and chilled out for some reason. But I do find garden centre relaxing and Rivendell is no different, maybe it's the sounds of water features. Rivendell offer a great selection of a great many things. The books in particular are always very reasonably priced. The cafe is sweet, full of old dears and never too expensive. And there Christmas displays are always lovely. To get into the garden centre on during the festive season you have to walk through a snowy path where they display all their trees. They do also sell real Christmas trees outside.
