Living through our third winter in the Northern Hemisphere has again confirmed that we are most definitely Tropical tree huggers. Although we try to embrace (tolerate) the cold and all it's so called pleasures... we hanker after balmy nights and Sundays brimming with beach time. Today we decided to make the most of the wintry afternoon sun and took a lazy saunter down to the flower museum at the end of the street. We walk/ run past it every time we head to the beach, but we had never actually ventured inside. We were more then pleasantly surprised by what we found... as we entered into an Alice In wonderland like conservatory, filled with over sized tropical plants, sweating happily away in their perfectly temperate atmosphere. Besides all kinds of floral wonders and intrigues, the museum also has a lovely, little restaurant that serves the most amazing souffle formaggio (not at all raw, and presumably not organic... ahem). We then left the museum just in time to catch the sunset at the beach. Gotta love Sundays!
