Tipis, the Eden Project and other fun


This was our home for the first part of our holiday, a 20 foot tipi nestled into its own clearing complete with gas stove inside and open fire facilities outside. It was surprising how quickly you got used to living inside a round tent-like structure!


The tipis were all connected by winding paths which all led, at some point, to the spring-fed lake which used to be a quarry. I was brave enough to row out in a boat and be able to photograph some of the lake's beauty.






For a day out we visited St Michael's Mount in Marazion, taking a short boat ride across to it because the tide had hidden the walkway.




This was the view from the top of the castle of the garden. The views were stunning.

The Eden Project was another day trip and eagerly anticipated - and we were not disappointed! The biomes which held the different environments were huge and very interesting structurally on their own.


The paths leading to the biomes were bordered by the most stunning flowerbeds, the colours and variety of flower were fabulous to see.





Inside the biomes was just as beautiful...all manner of vegetation, plants, flowers and an enormous waterfall!





Originally we were due to stay in Cornwall for our holiday but after bad weather was forcast for the rest of the week we packed up and travelled to Yorkshire, a very popular holiday destination for me, and with the promise of sunshine how could we resist?!

I'll continue my holiday entry tomorrow - off to see the new Harry Potter film for the second time!
