Advantages: Nice stroll, good plants Disadvantages: Steep
...If you only can spare time to seek out one plant in New Zealand, it would have to be the most famous of all its plants - the silver fern. If, on the other hand, you are a nature lover and you find yourself with a free afternoon to spend in Wellington (New Zealand's capital city), then I strongly recommend the Botanic Garden for its plants, scenic views and pleasant strolls.
For everyone else, I'd still recommend it, but only after you have taken your fill of the Te Papa museum (which is my number one "must-see" recommendation for Wellington). The gardens span some 25 hectares and if you are anything like me, they will fill as much time as you have to spare and then some.
People with bad knees or small children be warned though - it's pretty steep and you may struggle a bit! There are some mobility scooters available though. I came here...

About Each Track
To The Moon And Back
"I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be, if you'll be my baby..."
This track is about a woman who feels unloved and uncared for so she keeps away from human affection.
The track's theme is a futuristic hyperbole but it is a very romantic song. I like the intro that has a robotic sound effect which is followed...
Advantages: Light airy conservatory, pleasant service, good value for money Disadvantages: Nothing out of the ordinary
...Another week brought another visit from my hungry curry-loving colleague Joep. I had no plans for the evening and asked if he wanted to have dinner. His eyes lit up; "Can we have curry?" he asked excitedly. And so at around 6.30pm we left the office to go in search of a new curry restaurant that we'd not tried before. I'd spotted the Spice Garden on my way to work that morning and decided that this time it would get our custom. The world (well the UK anyway ? and India, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc?..you get what I mean) is full of curry restaurants and in the middle of a recession we should spread our pennies around and try to support a new one each time until we run out or get food poisoning.
I got lucky and found a parking space right in front of the restaurant. It's on New Chester Road in Bromborough, about a mile off the M53, close...
Advantages: Plenty to see and do for both adults and children Disadvantages: None
...The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland is a really lovely place to visit, as I discovered recently when in the area.
I had decided to visit on the recommendation of a friend who had recently spent a day there, and had spent quite a while telling me about it afterwards. I was intrigued to find out more and visit here myself, as although I live in the North East and have visited many places in Northumberland, I had never visited The Alnwick Garden.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW TO GET THERE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Alnwick Garden is situated just off the A1 at Alnwick in Northumberland, and is well signposted if travelling by car.
Buses connect Alnwick to surrounding towns and also Newcastle.
If travelling by train, the east coast line stops at Alnmouth which is 4 miles away.

...Well having wanted to visit Busch Gardens on a number of occasions and unfortunately not being given the chance, I felt I had to visit the place during my recent visit to Florida. I had always heard mix reactions about the theme park, some complimenting it, whilst other simply saying it was not there thing. Nevertheless, I was still determined to visit it, at least once to squash the rumours and determine for myself whether this place was thumbs up or thumbs down.
History of Bush Gardens Africa (Tampa Bay):
Bush Gardens is the name of two of the biggest theme parks in America, one in Tampa Bay, Florida, and the other one in Williamsburg, Virginia. Bush Gardens is currently owned by Busch Entertainment Corporation.
Busch Gardens Africa was first opened in 1959, and was a 340 acre African themed, safari park. The park was...

Review of Busch Gardens, Tampa
Advantages: Easy to get to and small and shady enough to enjoy without getting exhausted in the heat. Disadvantages: Hilly in places.
...This is a real gem of a West Sussex garden, particularly so because you don?t have to pay to look at it!
A few facts about the Garden:-
Highdown Gardens was created 90 years? ago by Sir Frederick and Lady Stern who set out to prove that you could grow a garden on chalk. The garden was built in an old chalkpit that looked over the South Downs, and the chalk sides of the pit give a very attractive backdrop to some parts of the garden. All the plants and trees growing there are tolerant of soil that is very alkali and the gardens have been given a ?green flag? status by the Civic Trust and regarded as a National Collection.
As a general rule, I?m not very interested in formally planted gardens. I love the ?rough and tumble? colour and shape of informal and wild flower gardens. Highdown Gardens suits me. There are lots...
Advantages: Wide range of good quality goods Disadvantages: Not the cheapest
...I can vaguely remember a time when garden centres didn't really exist and they were called nurseries instead. Strangely enough they only sold plants and garden accessories. How things have changed though, now you can almost do your weekly shopping there (well maybe I exaggerate a little), but they really do sell almost everything and you can even get a bite to eat when you're there. Peter Barratts Garden Centre in Newcastle is no exception.
WHERE IS IT ?
It's located to the north of the city next to Gosforth Park / Newcastle Racecourse. It's only a 5 minute drive from the A1 if you take the Killingworth / Wideopen junction, or similarly 5 minutes from the Killingworth turn off of the A19. One of the other main route's running out of Newcastle city centre, the A189, literally passes by too, so it's very accessible by car...
Advantages: A visual treat and Audrey hepburn Disadvantages: none
...About the video
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Gardens of the World' with Audrey Hepburn was a nine-episode documentary television series of 1993. It was the last television project completed by actress Audrey Hepburn, who died the day before the first episode of the series was aired.Hepburn was supposed to have donated all her earnings received for the project to UNICEF, where she was actively involved.
This Series won an Emmy Award for 'Outstanding Individual Achievement - Informational Programming' for Audrey Hepburn.
In this DVD Audrey Hepburn and actor Michael York do a marvelous job of narrating the history of the different gardens and providing information about some of the plants and flowers that are grown there.
In fact, they touch upon a lot of other interesting subjects besides the garden they are visiting, like the important people...

...My niece is really likes the Cbeebies programme ?In the Night Garden? so when I saw this set of characters I decided to buy them for her 4th birthday which was in August. I?m sure everyone is at least vaguely familiar with the show. The In the Night Garden website states that the show is ?best described as a modern televisual interpretation of a nursery rhyme picture book. It is about a magical place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child?s imagination? It?s very popular with young children but most of the adults I know are quite confused by it all.
This set of characters is made by Playskool and there are six in the set. They characters included are: Iggle Piggle and his blanket, Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy, and the three Tombiliboo?s. All the figures are bright and colourful and they all stand up (we needed to try a couple...
