More sun! Where is the rain we came to see?? Ou sont les neiges d'antan?
Air, glorious clean breathing air. Excellent here as in new Zealand. The latter is further from home but easier to get to than the isles of Scillies. Both take about the same amount of time
Asked the barman last evening for some Doombar. "Nope. Why not? Hate the salesman. What do you have close? Nothing close."
Abbey garden Tresco. The link below only gives a hint of how pleasant it is to stroll through these gardens. Up there with Kew and many in Japan. The Abbey garden is exceedingly well maintained, 3 student gardeners and 4 full time pros.

Pictured is an interesting topiary to be found on the walk into the garden. Many pictures taken by QB to be found on Flickr. These include many red squirrels introduced here recently. No grays here. Additionally the Valhalla collection of ships figureheads.
