Loch shell filling station

I've only just noticed this thread, and I've never even noticed the work going on at Lochshell -I must go around with my eyes shut! I guess it's officially your opening day now so congratulations on getting there and I hope all goes really well for you. I'll be there at noon, sticky-beaking with the rest of the org

Good luck with your new project.

I'm sorry I scared you when I peeped my horn as I went by this morning, (not the best of ideas when a man is up a ladder)

Been to Rivendell today, what a terrific lot of work has been done and it's looking really smart inside and out, great looking menu and all really nicely done...congrats on your terrific effort in such a short space of time so here's hoping for a very posative future for Rivendell & Co.

It's definately worth a look fellow Orgers

mmm.... I'd have thought now that it's open, it would be worth telling folk what's there.

If I knew what was there, it might interest me to go but I'm not that intrigued to go over there just to see.

Named Rivendell – after the scenic Elven outpost in the JRR Tolkien epic Lord of the Rings – the site features a garden centre, a café, a farm shop and crafts for sale.

Knowing Glyn it is bound to be good so I for one will be going out to see him as it has been a while since I have had the chance to have a chat with him.

**Phill** · 14-Apr-12, 20:51

I knew it was to do with plantage!
Well done & good luck, I shall be along in due course to see if there are any bargainiferous trolls to be had.

p.s. Any news on the pole dancers?

Hi Everybody.

Back home after seeing lots of friends throughout the opening day......one in which Lord John Thurso managed to rearrage things and make it a little earlier to officially open us up. So this is the first chance I have had to update this log...my apologises for that.

Right.
Rivendell is a Garden Center with a Cafe. It also sells Gifts & Crafts and as we ran out of time, the last piece is a Farm Shop. (We were there till 11pm the last 2 nights and there at 9am this morning.)

Anybody who came in was well pleased with what we had done to the old eyesore.

Opening Times are as Follows:
MON - 10am till 6pm.
TUES - 10am till 6pm.
WED - 10am till 6pm.
THURS - CLOSED
FRI - 10am till 6pm.
SAT - 10am till 6pm.
SUN - 10am till 6pm.

For the Summer we will extend the opening hours to 7pm, some days might be later.

I have never added an image to a log before so I hope I get this right.

Ps. The Trolls have not arrived and the pole dancers have been given permanent leave due to the current icy weather.

Thanks to Everyone.

Just wondered is that a play on words 'Center'? Anyway well done with the changes.. tooted my horn quite a bit passing by recently

**nicnak** · 15-Apr-12, 16:39

Well we went to Rivendell today and it was wonderful , cannot recommend highly enough, so come on folks grab your coats, go and have a cup of tea(cheaper than spoons and tescos too) and give Glynn & Benjamin some support! We will be back rest assured & thank you so much for the welcome and chat xx

Whenever we go over to the BIG Tesco the children insist they get taken to the cafe there as a treat, but no more lol. We will happily change venue ! So no more cardboard food ! And real tea ! I may even take up gardening lol. As for the farm shop I cant wait ... Fresh veg is so much better.
