Hunte's Gardens and Bajan Art

Today was a day for a little culture - so I headed off to a place I've never been - Hunte's Gardens. It is truly beautiful there, beautifully maintained and a tiny piece of paradise. I took so many photos that it was hard to choose one  to show here -I just picked this view of the trees to show the backdrop to the gardens. They are well planted with bright coloured flowers and little statues hidden amongst the plants. With every step there was something new to see.
I forgot how much the rain came down last night and stepped off the path - big mistake - squelchy mud. I had to get someone to hose my feet down - including between my toes!

From Hunte's Gardens I went up to HP Batik at Edge Hill to collect the silk that was painted for my Mum. I took a photo of the cockerel there - last year he was a youngster with a squeaky voice - now he's a grown up. It's so funny to watch him strutting about like he owns the place! I christened him 'Rembrandt the Rooster'.
 I was very lucky to catch this action shot of him crowing!

Henderson normally specialises in batik but he has captured Rembrandt in watercolours!

It has been such a hot (30 degrees) and sunny day but we've had some sudden heavy rain - think tonight will be a take-away evening! I know it's lazy option but I just feel like kicking back and chilling this evening. I'm on holiday - why not!
I'm seriously thinking of doing the swim with turtles trip tomorrow but I'm a rubbish swimmer and have a real fear of not being able to climb the ladder back into the boat. If you see someone being towed back to shore on the island tomorrow - you'll know my fears were justified!
Off to get rained on!
