On Our Way Back We Decided To Call In At A New Project,

it is called Mimosa,

it is almost opposite the Ambassador Hotel,

 

although officially opened on the 14th, there is still some work going on,

there is a car park at the front to make things easy,

the whole complex looks European,

 

with lots of walks through the shops, bars and restaurants,

 

with many mature trees being built around,

the first part looking onto a square,

with walkways through it,

the shops at the side almost looking like they were form Holland being tall and narrow,

but then we spotted a UK telephone box,

two hearts made of topiary,

we continued our walk along the shops,

all painted in nice pastel shades,

some still empty, but I guess they will be filling up soon, this place looks like it could be a success,

 

I like the way old trees have been left in place,

also how a short walk brings you to a secluded seating area,

some of the units are already up and running,

like this food hall,

a nice selection of hanging baskets outside,

and plenty of room inside,

and out,

inside the seating area is surrounded on three sides by small kitchens all offering different types of food,

and at the moment there are a huge number of flowers on display making it all look really nice,

 

a nice smile from Diana,

one of the kitchens in the food hall,

 

they will of course be plenty of other types of food to tempt you,

for visitors from the UK unaccustomed to Far Eastern food who could resist fish and chips?

as we carried on walking we crossed a small bridge looking along the pond there was seating areas and shops on both sides,

and a few ducks,

to make the scene complete,

Diana strikes the pose,

I am not sure quite what this is, time will tell,

we did not walk around this area,

as work is still ongoing,

may be a stage or another restaurant area,

the shops that are here and have opened are really making an effort,

with nice added touches to their store fronts,

we then found a second 'canal',

 

complete with a pair of swans,

the ducks keeping to the upper canal,

I wonder if she is called Daisey?

we stopped to take a few more pictures,

these of a large pizza restaurant,

Diana was getting hungry,

the swans home just in front of the restaurant,

outside the restaurant,

a silent helper,

or two,

there is still a lot of work to be completed,

but when finished I am sure it will be a fun place to visit,

not long now then it will be done,

so if you want to visit remember look out for the Ambassador Hotel the Mimosa is almost opposite,

so from Dang and Diana it is bye for now as we are on our way home.
