The morning of the 23rd dawned and it was quite cold and damp

not conducive to a visit to Eden really but it was what we had to work

with so off to Chiverton Cross to meet the others and make our way

to the Eden Project.

Some of the party had booked tro go ice skating but, preferring to keep
both legs and arms in tact I was not one of them.

We took the opportunity of taking out a years membership to cover
future visits in the next 121 months at a very reasonable £5.00 each
for locals as long as proof was given. A bargain at last.

With the temperature way down the entry into the tropical forest
biome came as too much of a shock for my main camera to bear
and the lens immediately misted over but not just externally this
time, the internal components of the lens had also misted up no
pictures with the main camera for a while. However the trusty
Nokia N95 came in to play as it was located in a nice warm shirt
pocket no problem with misting up.

The Mediterranean biome was much more pleasnat to be in warm
but not too hot and humid and the displays had changed from
my last visit too.

That covered it was off to get a pasty and a sit down followed by a
trek to the education centre.

A walk back over the open bridge and then down to the skating rink
to watch the others falling over alkthough not much if tat bwas evident
save Alistair who seemed to like the cold surface just a little.

Next outing is the Mince Pie Cruise to Falmouth on 14th December 2008
another chance to enjoy the company of friends at this time of year.

The 19th December will see our Christmas Dinner/Party at Newquay and
then well its ghet ready for nthe 2009 show season, won’t be too long.
