Bring back the sledges...

In Wales, Future Marketing Group chairman and former GCA chairman Martin Davies, MD of Raglan Garden Centre, said: “The wintry weather meant the writing was on the wall for Easter before we began trading. If this jet stream doesn’t move soon I shall be re-ordering snow sledges!”

The picure below was taken by the centre’s shop manager at the back entrance to his home on Easter Saturday. “Our customers still have severe problems getting out and about let alone driving to the garden centre,” Martin Davies told us over the Easter break.
