Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the d
Had a good day today we went up to a catholic monk community called Buckfast abbey which was fun they have a special lavender garden of many breeds! :D Smelled awesome, they also have another few good scent gardens! And they are famous for their bees!!!! :D Haven't been here since I was like ten or so... I ate too much candies then and was sick on the way back to school :/ Anyway today at the abbey was fun we got some fudge! I had a bit of a bad tummy on the way home.

Then we also went to a very small steam train station where they still from there to totnes and back, a really cool museum but won't bore you with the pictures I took there they are more for my mothers entertainment! Haven't been here since I was like six...... My grandfather got me stuck in a small train ride where you put the coin in and it makes noise and moves... They had to grease me out lol.... (Fond good memories in buckfast)

Yes this looks like two leaves on top of the orange... However they are buterflies!!!!! I sadly got a poorish photo of these but trust me, they be butterflies!

These next photos do not do this creature justice it was an amazingly bright green... I spent ages trying to catch it on camera, however it wasn't amused.. I finally got some distant shots of it with zoom.

Honey is awesome huh? Not a fan of it on toast... lol Vicky loves it on toast I just like to eat it from the jar!!! The onyl thing I found kind of a bummer, I couldn't go into the bee keep, as a child we could, but now it is private and only the monks can enter... Also couldn't take photos within the abbey :( But I guess that helps draw business to their gift shops... Speaking of gift shops got some real nice nutmeg and blackberry scented candles... Un real the quality of smell.. Oh they also had a key ring bible in there lol.... It was like 1.5cm by 1cm something like tha tiny! And I was like "NO WAI!!!!" and I unlocked the cover and opened it and the keyring bible was like "YA WAI!!!!" Every book was in there lol... Need a magnifing glass to read it.... Or have to be like a burrower or something.. Still.. amazing lol.


Lovely pictures.

Hehe thanks! :D Glad you liked them! *thumbs up*
 
Great pix Alex. I love butterflies, and the girls and I love to visit the butterfly house when we can. Thanks for the pointer to your thread. :)
