I visited the glasshouses which have been in place for over 200 years. On my way I made friends with two dogs, one of which laid it's frisbee at my feet, obviously expecting me to play. The glasshouses hold plants from different zones. It was quite good to go into the warmth as it was really quite chilly again today and quite overcast. Having been introduced to Peter Rabbit by a visiting toddler I set off through the various zones. I have to say I am less excited by some of the specimens these days, having seen many of these plants in the wild on my travels. However I found some very interesting specimens that might be useful for inspiration.
And of course I meet this little creature everywhere I go!
Next after a mug of chocolate I had a brief break at home for lunch and some more painting, before setting off to see the carnival. It was well supported and quite lively with various groups in costume and a lot of music. I imagine some will be exhausted by the end!
Following this I went to The Impressionists exhibition and topped off the day with a meal at Rollo's, just round the corner from 'home' and a real treat!
