It's Good To Be Home?

After a week away is it good to be home?
Back to clean the car, do some grocery shopping. All those mundane things that are what they are.

So today was car cleaning day and pond cleaning day (only to find the last of our goldfish. Dead with a suspicious, heron peck hole in him).

It is good to be home, the fact that I have a few more days before I have to go back to work is even better, but I think I rather still be on holiday.

Holiday Day Six - Last Day

Last day of our holiday today, tomorrow we must return home. It's been a great week, which means heading for home is hard.

I've been bribing myself with the prospects of playing the new PS3 game that I was given for my birthday, but which yet for obvious reasons have yet to take out of the cellophane wrapper. Also the thoughts of seeing what's happened on the allotment and in the garden while we've been away. The fact that we've been to so many gardens this week means that I have lots of ideas for things I might try in both.

So tomorrow we rise early than we have been all week, load the car and set for home, probably relatively slowly though.

Holiday Day Five

It's strange how the smallest unrelated things can spark a memory.

We visited Trevano gardens yesterday and something I saw there reminded me of something that happened over ten years ago. The same memory was triggered by something else completely unrelated about a week ago. I can't help wonder why that memory in particular keeps resurfacing?

Anyway today is the final full day of our holiday (day six), tomorrow we must make tracks for home, another garden (Trewithen) to see today, and the weather looks good.

Holiday Day Four

A quieter day today, with probably the best weather of the week so far.

A nice long walk this morning, followed by a nice pub lunch and then a walk around the Cornish coast.

Finally returning to base for a home cooked dinner. Lovely.

Holiday Day Three - Bats & Bamboozle

Every evening when we return around dusk there are several bats flying backwards and forwards across the yard where we park. They're engaged in hunting for their supper but I'm a little surprised to see them as it's still so cold. My guess is they've had such a hard winter that they are about now hunting because they have no choice and without sufficient food they will perish.

In other news I've sent a picture to twitpic of the bamboozle where we spent some time today in amongst the twenty or so metre high bamboo.

Holiday Day Two

The Japanese Zen Gardens today. Very tranquil and inspirational. In between the hail showers that is!

Something I've learnt about always trying to take a holiday around my birthday, is just how unpredictable the weather can be at this time of year. My motto on these occasions is just to get on with it and ignore the weather. If we waited for the sun to come out we might never do anything.

On planning our trips this week we seem to have programmed a lot of garden visits. This didn't dawn on me until I wrote them all down and realised then that's what we'd planned, fine by me though as really the holiday season has yet to take off so most things are still closed for the winter.
Getting lots of reading (and evidently blogging) done too.

Some photos of todays gardens available via twitter\twitpic, link in my sidebar.

Holiday Day One

First full day of holiday and we're really just settling in.

Went for a nice long walk this morning with the dog, along the Camel Trail. Didn't see any though!

The rest of the holiday looks set to be a round trip of gardens with the occasional bookshop thrown in for good measure, and that suits is fine.

Off to have dinner with my cousin and Saga's newest member this evening. Japanese bonsai garden tomorrow.
