The Gulf Stream gathers warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico and flows as a current north and east, moderating the climate along the way, with some unexpected effects, like palm trees growing along parts of the south coast of England. The warming effects of the Gulf Stream along with a steep valley made the perfect place for a Florida style garden in the south of England. It was pretty. It was extremely steep. The Map was useless, and the visit felt rushed. Still it was a pretty place.

| Legend has it that praying at this abandoned church, will help loveless ladies find a husband. |
So beautiful! I guess loveless men don’t care.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the legend was started by loveless men, trying to attract desperate women, my bet would be that the odds are good, but the goods are odd.
DeleteTeehee!
DeleteThe tree stump photo is my fave!
ReplyDeleteEverything seems to be green and growing there.
DeleteWhat a beautiful spot for a stroll.
ReplyDeleteI could have spent 2-3 hours, we had about 45 minutes.
DeleteThis is just amazing and totally unexpected. I knew there were palm trees in southwestern England but nothing as tropical as this. Wow.
ReplyDeleteIf the Gulf Stream changes course, a lot of things change.
