Day 100! Beat that!

A new record! Go the Grants! 100 Days 'out there', caravaning!

Aren't we amazing? We think we are!

Anyway, while we were reveling in our amazing-ness, we hopped in the car and went off to Heronswood to take in the spectacular gardens. This is something that was on Duncan's list of things he really wanted to see. The morning was fine and sunny, so the picnic was packed and off we went.

Happy campers. Still smiling!

I really thought that the boys might start the "how much longer?" type questions quite soon into the experience, but much to my surprise they really got into it. They were excited by the different scents of the different plants and the variety of edible plants and fruits, some of which they had not come across. Duncan and the boys were completely engaged in the possibilities of our vegie patch at home and the sorts of things we might grow and how to go about setting it all up properly. Everything at Heronswood is organically grown and all the plants are heirloom plants (meaning that they are not modern hybrids).

Emulation...

Popping into the garden shop afterwards was a treat and Duncan pointed out that there are none of those pesticide smells in there (because they don't use any). There was much perusal of seeds and equipment, some of which was purchased for when we get home. We shall soon be enjoying gorgeous produce from our very own garden, I should think.
It was a most enjoyable outing for everyone.

Only four more sleeps till we get on the ferry...
