Today we went back to Abbotsbury to use our combined ticket at the Sub-Tropical Gardens. It was very pretty. There were a few pheasants wandering around. Emily soon fell asleep in her push chair. We took lots of photos. We didn't fancy the steep climb up to the look out point especially as it was overcast, There were some sculptures, mostly figurines, mostly made of metal. Not any that I could say I liked. The ornamental ponds were good. They had lots of fish. Plaques around the pond dated the garden as set up in 1915. The fish weren't brave enough to feed from Dave's hand like ours do. Emily woke up while we were there, in time to see the fish and chat up the little boy.
We had lunch in their restaurant, jacket potatoes. After here we thought we would go to the beach to take some photos but at £3 to park, we turned around. We found a little kite shop – The Kite Shed. Dave bought a little kite and a flag. Emily now has a new windmill for their garden. Although they had quite a few kites and deltas, they didn't really have any big power kites. We decided to try Bennett's Water Gardens. At £6.95 a ticket, don't bother. The Monet bridge was cool but that was the highlight of the attraction. It had been opened by Paul Daniels apparently. Apart from that and an oriental style view, World of Water at Rolvenden has more to look at and they don't charge.
Before dinner later, we had a wander around the caravan site nosing at the ones that are for sale. Some of them have more space than some of our friends have in their houses. Tonight's dinner was pasta, tuna and garlic bread. Later we had strawberry cheesecake. Tonight our entertainment was Fever Pitch.
