Savill Garden #2

It is the end of the day and we are lovely and cool. We had a great morning out and came home just in time to beat the downpour!

Mum, James and I drove the 10 minutes to Savill Garden and were pleased to only pay 5.50 GBP as I now have my Advantage Card which admits me for free. We meandered and strolled and wound around and of course, visited James' favourite, the Queen's Golden Jubilee fountain.

After that we found a shady spot near some pines and ate our sandwiches for lunch. James was very tired by this time. He hopped into the stroller only to hop out again as we came across a great big bed of the Princess of Wales rose. I was just overjoyed! We took many photos. Mum is looking after my own rose whilst we're away. No pressure!

3 hours later on the way out we stopped at the outdoor cafe for coffee and an icy pole. The gorgeous shop that was open last week has since closed and will be located at the new visitor's centre next door in a week or so. We'll be going back then to look at all the pretty English things for sale! I told Mum to bring ALL her money!

This afternoon we had some errands to run up Peascod Street and Mum met our new friend at Carluccio's who welcomed us with traditional Italian hazelnut meringue biscuits. So of course I bought a packet...! It was raining and we had umbrellas and James took off all over the place but it was fun and we were glad to get home.

Martin is catching up with a friend in the city tonight so I'm preparing for tomorrow and Mum is writing postcards. Roo is fast asleep and looking forward to Nursery tomorrow.
