Just back from Cornwall...

We arrived back home yesterday after spending 5 wet & sunny days in Cornwall. It's a shame we didn't have sunshine & wind, as we had taken our VW camper to Cornwall for a spot of wind-surfing. We camped at Stithians Lake in Redruth which had lovely views, but unfortunately the weather was quite dire! One of the highlights of the week was visiting the Eden Project. The massive Biomes that dominate the scenery are very impressive. Walking around the Biomes, you wouldn't believe that Eden was only 7 years old!

There are 2 Biomes to explore, the Rainforest Biome and the Mediterranean Biome. I personally preferred the Mediterranean Biome as it wasn't so hot & humid inside! The Rainforest Biome was extremely busy and it didn't help that people were blocking the narrow walkway to photograph paintings that had been drawn on some of the large rocks. (I could probably understand if they were paintings from the stone age!!)



We've had a lovely break, even if the weather wasn't that good. I'm going to start concentrating on preparation for my big craft fair coming up next month in Milton Keynes. It's come around really quickly. I've got lots to do and lots of new glass jewellery pieces to make, so I will be very busy over the next couple of weeks.
