The Botanical Gardens was amazing! we walked around for about an hr and saw amazing things...there were sculptures and artworks by different artists glasshouses with cactii which my grandma would have loved!

It was very interesting but i guess not as nice a view as the one we have in Sydney, nothing can beat that!

We walked around and had a look at the different types of trees and sculptures and saw squirrels, we took our packed lunch and enjoyed the scenery. Just a pretty relaxing day in general. The grass is as green as u can imagine it to be and the birds are gay as can be (ok, umm, not homosexually gay, more happy and chirpy gay...thought i might have to explain this bit just in case) so, after flittering after the gay birdies, we decided to hang off a tree branch, yes, very productive. We took some great photos though and had a good laugh, the poor branch was sagging with our weight (i think i heard it breathing really hard and sighing under pressure) but it held strong (well, good cos we had nowhere to run but into lakes and stuff!)

Oh! i saw some squirrels! this is the part where u start rolling your eyes (as Ann and Anita did) cos i started running after them in a crouching motion saying "oooboooieee wooobiee goochie, arent you cute!??" yes, i did do this and i cant stop myself, i always have, puppies get the same treatment from me and other cute animals (men arent on this list though, i think id get slapped for that one!) so yeah, started running after squirrels and harrassing them a bit, they are so cute though! their tails so bushy and they run and stop really quickly and all u see if a bushy blur! well, we were lucky these ones werent like the feral squirrels in London that decided to nibble on some sort of tree "root" and run and attack us...pfft, londonite squirrels, blooty 'ell...
