The Lost Gardens and The Eden Project are only a few miles from here, Pammie.

Hi Dimples!

(((((((((Theia)))))))))) - so good to see you!!! Vast amounts have happened this end lately - and hopefully we have some resolution of a few totally impossible situations. With luck, I'll soon be able to wander again - and maybe even mosey along down your way.. I live in hope. In the meantime - I'm actually going to get to see my kids again. I leave for Paris tomorrow. Romy, as you know, lives there. Mik lives in London but is at a film conference in America right now - he'll join us the weekend after next in France. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

Very interesting grass sculpture. Her face kind of scares me a little though. But overall she's pretty neat.

Been to Heligan, it's wonderful but then Cornwall is a magical place.

Another wonderful garden is Trebar Gardens http://www.picturesofengland.com/Englan ... n/pictures you walk through the gardens and down to a beautiful private sandy beach, spent a day there last September, it was glorious:D

I'm going here -The Minack Theatre, in August, to see HenryV - can't wait:)

Good to see you, too, Pammie :-6 Please, please, please mosey down this way. I'm moving to a rental in Falmouth at the end of this month and I think I'll be there for about a year, so don't delay!

Glad to hear things are resolving for you. Have a really lovely time in Paris. My daughter and son-in-law were there in February to celebrate 20 years of marriage.

You're on, Theia!!! I think the goddess is my kinda lady, even if (maybe even because) she has a scary face... grin. Take care, everyone, and look after the garden. I'll pop in if I can, but don't expect to be much connected till late May. Au revoir!

Beautiful pictures ..:-6:-6
ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

Walked past the Lost Gardens last year when I walked the Coast Path from Truro to Plymouth. It was pouring with rain and I'd planned to stop at the Eden Project, so I didn't stop there. Ah well. Something to do next time.

I gather the Lost Garden was rediscovered by the same bloke who does the Eden Project, with a huge number of local volunteers doing most of the labour. I understand they became lost because the children of the family and almost all the folk who worked there died on the Western Front in World War One.
