BEECH HILL GARDEN CENTRE Beech Hill Garden centre is a happy…read moreplace, almost always the sound of laughter floating over this award winning centre which is beautifully located on the Middle Glanmire Road, overlooking Cork city and harbour. But you don't go there for the laughs, although laughter is a tonic. Advice is freely given here and they are usually spot-on. Just recently I bought some plants there for a pebbled area and, well advised as usual, came away with some gorgeous colour, hopefully for years to come. It is close to me and I can always pop over for a single plant or container or a ball of garden twine. Maybe I am going just for that laugh! The well stocked centre is run by the COPE Foundation which provides a comprehensive range of services for 1600 children and adults with an intellectual disability.

I used to build model tanks as a boy. It was a hobby I really enjoyed, although some of the model…read moretanks would be quite frustrating - especially if you had to glue together the tank treads piece-by-piece. I'm sure some model tank designer got some sadistic pleasure out of lads like myself getting glue everywhere trying to fit together those treads, but I digress. The models have certainly come a long way from what I remember. This place had everything, such as a Doctor Who Tardis, tractors, WWII dioramas, planes, tanks, and automobiles. The man behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. Certainly the shop to visit if I ever scavenge time to resume such a hobby.

They even have a Kids Summer Camp Cooking School. Called there the other morning and met two smiling ladies. Stated my requirements and they moved off confidently to get it. But, believe it or not, they didn't have it. I was told it was on order and would be there in a few days. I think they were more disappointed that I was. Still, I enjoyed my friendly visit. I have been there in the past and will be there in the future. They usually have what you want and provide their service with a smile and a chat.

It sells glassware, candles, curtains, electrical items and bedding and much more. Needed a replacement kettle and picked up a Swiss one there, also some potpourri (from a large selection, much larger then Debenhams and much more reasonably priced). Didn't expect to see large size rugs there but they had some and had started to take a poke through when one of the staff told me that some 800 were due in the morning. So I thanked him for the helpful info and decided to wait as that large consignment seemed very promising indeed.
