He went to bed early with a "headache" tho personally i think he couldnt hack the competition - I mean with my manly good looks and raffish charm at large he was obviously going to be on a loser

we'll sort something out eden wise later in the spring - that could be a popular meet me thinks - and i know a good campsite nearby which also features a B&B for the less adventurous

I was pre-empting all of the offers and did not have the heart to let any one of those fine ladies down, so came down with an excuse they are all used to, and no doubt could sympathise with.

Pete, did you check his tent when you got back... all boy scouts know about sneaking out... and sneaking a girl guide into their tent you know

sounds like much fun was had. Eden is on my wish list too.

and I of course didnt want to make bodd feel bad in the morning by rubbing in the obvious differences in our looks so chose to exhibit solidarity in turning down the many offers .... no greater sacrafice than this does a man make for his freind

If you decide to go to the Eden project that you go before end may/ begining of June , when all thr tourists start to hit Cornwall, Traffic gets horrendous, Eden gets so busy it isn't so enjoyable and campsites and B&B's get booked up especially in the popular Areas...


Lands End is always worth a visit has great assortment of Birds, but best to go to sides of the Touristy bit down there right on the cliff edge unless you want your photo taken at the Famous Lands end to John o groats sign post

Yes my friend Jackie just said the same thing.Of course it would be a day trip for us anyway.Which would rule out Lands end for me it takes bloomin ages to get there Especially from Devon we would need to make it an overnighter which I couldn't do As I take in the foreign students during Easter and summer

we'll try to find somewhere flatter for our next excursion to the west country , maybe you should show us your estuary some time ( and yep I do say that to all the girls ) - also i fancy going to the eden project when the weather improves so you girls might fancy that (probably not that much further than exmoor , although you would have to evade the cornish border controls )

Jackie said to tell you she has seen both she thinks that The Lost Gardens of Heligan would be more suited to us than the eden project.She says there is more there that is wildlife orientated than there is in the eden project.She said it is a lot more interesting with butterflies as well as flowers and all sorts of other things
Check it out
Heligan Gardens

[nightshade]

The Lost Gardens of Heligan are much more interesting
Not that the Eden Project isn't

[smartie]

And here is an example of yer ackshual wildlife in the Lost Gardens of Heligan. It wasn't very wild, as you can see. We were only about 10 feet from it.



I'd agree with Jackie that if you only see one of the two - Heligan or Eden - Heligan is the one. Especially the area by the river that they call the jungle, which is one of my favourite places on earth (so far )

[cherrybee]

Oh wow I love the heron never had chance to get that close though.I definitely want to see that

[smartie]

It was a couple of years ago - it might have moved by now

Cherrybee if you ever come up to London, go to Regent's Park where there is a heronry + the birds follow regular feeders around, often with little fights. I got some good shots of them a couple of weeks back with my compact digital.
