Despite wet weather, a first on our cruise ! We were glad to stretch our legs after getting off Voyager. This involved the local, open, tenders. We made our way to Tresco Abbey gardens.

These gardens feature exotic plants to the UK, such as Echiums, Tree ferns, etc. Sound familiar ? Yes a lot of plants that we grow in TASSIE, even found some gum trees. What was done well were the contrasting foliage and tiered arrangements on the site. A well worth while visit, followed by a trip to St Mary’s for lunch with new friends. As the wind is increasing we have made our way back onboard to write blogs and prepare for another champagne supper with the Captain….Cheers !
