After three weeks of the same food, it was nice to see the bbq here again…too bad we ate before we came, as we were expecting the same food as the last three weeks and were growing tired of it. Would be nice if you would post these changes so everyone would know.
Just sayin’!
Thanks, Ed! We know everyone enjoyed Cedric’s ribs, whether by eating or just smelling them!! We usually post these updates on our Facebook page, but will try to put them on our website whenever possible. You can also call our Visitors Cottage (or ask when you visit next) or email info@wellfieldgardens.org if you have questions. Thanks for supporting Wellfield!
