O Glorious Day

Absolutely beautiful day in South Wales today.  Wall to wall sunshine.  So of course it was straight in the car and off to the National Botanic Gardens.  They were as fabulous as ever but now with the addition of an "installation" of tree roots from trees originally growing in Ghana - trees such as Mahogany for instance.  They are absolutely enormous.  And so beautiful too.  They were brought to the UK by an artist making a point about tree clearances in Africa and have toured the country (including Trafalgar Square) before finding a final resting place at the Botanic Gardens.  Lunch wasn't as good as normal though because the main restaurant is undergoing a refurbishment and so we had to eat in the smaller cafe.  But otherwise another lovely outing.  Then it was back to the homestead to watch Andy Murray (fair's fair I watched the Grand Prix yesterday) and Antiques Road Trip.  Quiet night in now before trip home to Manchester tomorrow.  And that's all to report really.  Hope you are all well out there in blog land and I will blog either tomorrow or Wednesday (when I will have seen Dr Summers - and the lovely Debbie - and so will know something of my proposed treatment regime).  I just hope someone turns these bloody fireworks off soon...
