...and the village where they are situated

I was a little let down by the Gardens I was expecting much more in the way of tropical plants, but hey ho..it was a nice walk around.. and it had a beautiful Colonial style Cafe at the end....

further along from the Abbotsbury gardens is an Abbey ruin which has little artisan stores in the grounds.. and this stunningly beautiful flower shop overlooking the ruins... and the pond

I sat at the next table to the door and had an ice-cream

Yup. Definitely need a vacation. There.

What I really liked was all the old, old buildings. Over here, if it's old, tear it down and build new. Gotta wonder why.

yes this is where we are majorly opposite to the USA...Most of these buidling are 400 years old or more.... they were built to last....and they're very cared for...
