tulips
Hi every one its been a bit of a busy week, what with job offers and leisurely strolls around floriade, a spot of gardening and some wonderful weather all keeping me firmly away from the computer.
First things first if you haven’t been to floriade get there quick this unusually hot weather seems to be bringing the flowers on very quickly. It is a marvellous display this year, with amazing sandcastles old parliament house and the war memorial. There are some great kids activities, the ais has a volley ball net set up and net ball hoops. ther are a few things i havent gotten round to, the last time i went with the family and nan and as we couldn't get a wheelchair we were pretty restricted as to where we could go.The food is pretty standard though, not to say its bad but it does seem to be a little boring and similar to the stuff I have seen there for the last few years. Never mind that though get your bum down to jones the grocer, silo, essential ingredient or any of the great delis within spitting distance of floriade and grab a bunch of gourmet cheese crackers pates dips dried fruit and a good bottle of bubbly or a chilled traminer Riesling (especially if this weather holds) and plonk yourself in the middle of the flowers somewhere (not on the beds though, I cannot condone that) for a lazy afternoon. I will be going and doing exactly that at least four more times before the bulbs are all dug up and if you get the chance you should too.
and more tulips
