 Lost in translation!!!

On a side note I visited your local botanics last week, one of my favourite. Got this snap looking down the tunnel out to the cover. Also visited Crave…lovely! https://image.nostr.build/496973f6de49a8298eb3af01f9e9b9e2ac9054f65ebfabcdd41c2112fe4e0da5.jpg  
 That's an amazing photo 🧡 
I've taken a few myself, but they are all rubbish.

We are members there of the Botanic Gardens. 

My Uncle died at the TB hospital there. He was aged 18, in 1942 after being medically discharged from the army. 

Funnily enough, everybody raves about Crave, but I'm not a big fan.

It's out of season, but if you go back, I HIGHLY recommend Crab Pasties from the Crab Shack for lunch in Steephill. Cove.

You'll want two if you're hungry and you can get a can of beer or Prosecco with them. 
 Yeah that photo was a good one, phone did all the work. I just clicked and that was what I got, couldn’t repeat it if I tried. Would be a member myself if we were more local, settle for visiting every other year.

We actually went down the Cove for lunch but went to the first little place the Beach Shack (the crab shack was still opening up), had myself the obligatory crab sandwich, it was great. We’d been told to go there by an island expat who now works up in the far north (over the border, where winter is a real season). 

Will def be going back down there, Steephill Cove was one of our favourite days out this trip. 
 The Beach Shack is also a good choice.

They have an amazing view.

Crab in anything is good.
