The Eden project near St Austell is an educational charity that explores how people can work together and with nature to change things for the better. A global garden was created in an old china clay pit. The 35 acre site now showcases people’s relationship with plants. The two Biomes under the big bubble domes are Rainforest and Mediterranean. The outdoor biome contains plants from the English environment. It was certainly fascinating and a bit weird to be perspiring in the humidity of a rainforest in the middle of Cornwall! The bubbles are almost surreal!

I was amazed at the completeness of this Victorian country house where everything has been left by the Agar-Robartes family who lived there. The elegant family rooms were fascinating but equally as interesting were the working areas of the house and servants rooms.

Had to have a bunch of these beautifully scented jonquils as they remind me of my Grandmother, Mardy, back in Port Macquarie.
