Botanical Gardens

Thursday 29 January 2015

A trip to The Botanical Gardens is one of our favourite ways to spend a day.


Not far from us, it is the perfect way to get some fresh air, let off some steam and admire the wildlife.
Last summer we would take a picnic and lie on the grass watching Evan explore as we soaked up the sun, tucking into homemade cakes and fresh fruit. This place takes me back to my childhood, so it is great to be able to take Evan and watch him run and roll about, as I once did at his age.
It hasn't changed in my eyes, apart from the scary slide that has been swapped for a smaller (safer) one.
On some weekends during spring and summer, a brass band plays in the band stand at the bottom of the grass hill. I can't wait to pack a picnic later in the year and take Evan dancing!
Here are a few pics from our recent visit.
