It's the most relaxed holiday i think i've ever had and the freedom it gives you is imense, you start to see things in the UK which you didn't even know existed. We're heading down to Cornwall for a few days this year to explore that part of the world.

Every time I used to return to UK it was the greenness of it all that made me so very proud of it.
I too travelled quite extensively in my younger years. I was in the Armed Forces for 25 years before I took up horticulture and agriculture full time.

Smurfy & JB ..... Congratulations on your marriage Smurfy!!
Interesting! It is the swaths of green that have amazed me too on coming back to the UK from abroad and I think just that familiarity of 'home'. And the smell of the land and the sea!!. Although I also like(ed) loads of things abroad.
Dad was in the Army - REME for 25 years and we travelled with him.
I have also travelled whilst working at my first career as a nurse.
JB what did you do in the forces? (I hope its ok to ask). I love hearing from people who have heaps of stories and experiences under their belt.
I find when I travel in the UK i get drawn to visiting Cemetries, Farms that allow visitors, Walled kitchen gardens and Gardens. I really do want to do more though.
Smurfy when you come to Cornwall make sure you put Eden on your list. Oooh there's soooo much you should see!! ..... I will get a list together for you to choose from depending on how much time you have. Give me a while to do it though. Maybe AnneThomas will add to it. I will post it here for others to see too.
