Pinsla Gardens

After a good nights sleep, we used the good old shower block, where I proceeded to have a wonderful hot shower, and then realised I had forgotten my towel and it was still in the caravan.....

Now what? I'd not got my mobile, to call Paul to bring my towel across, and had not got a clue what to do next!

Thank the lord for the fact I had my clean knickers with me - it's amazing how much of your body you can dry with a pair of knickers!

It was then a quick dash from the shower block, very naked under my jacket, to get back to the van, and dry off properly before getting dressed and cooking breakfast!

We had already decided that we would go to Pinsla Gardens today, as there was a 2 4 1 voucher in the local paper, not that it was expensive to get in anyway!

The gardens belonged to someones very unusual home, and they had opened it up to the public, offering a little cafe area, and a full on nursery where you could buy any plants or ornaments that you wanted for your gardens

Although we are not really at the right time of the year to see it at its best (apparently August according to the owner) it was a beautifully laid out garden with lots of hidden areas, and scattered with unusual sculptures and ponds

Fred obliged by posing in a bamboo corridor with his Dad

Although these gardens are quite small, they were lovely, and we have decided that we will most certainly visit again in August to see what changes the plants have undergone in the meantime.
