What do you do when the rain's pouring down and there's not much to do? Head for Wakehurst Place... Ok maybe it wasn't the best idea but it didn't turn out too badly... For those of you who don't know Wakehurst Place in West Sussex is part of Kew's Millenium Seed Bank - storing seeds from all over the world so that should a plant become extinct it can hopefully be reintroduced. Its sad to think that plants & animals are becoming extinct through the one species that can actually conserve them & its made me more aware of trying to make my life more green. They also have beautiful gardens, woodlands and a nature reserve which I unfortunately didn't get to explore due it raining. I did however get to explore the 16th Century Mansion which was beautiful. No photos as I forgot to take my camera *Doh*!
The real highlight of my stay however was a trip to Beachy Head... I love Beachy Head - I choose not to think about the more depressing side to it & instead focus on how breathtakingly beautiful it is. Its perfect for a walk which is what I did - not going to say anything more as I think the pictures do it more justice than words can!
