Bulbmania

We went to the Eden Project yesterday, because Naomi wanted to see "Bulbmania". The place was packed, but we had a lovely day out. The first picture shows some of the bulbs. The next one shows Eloise and David, and I have captioned it "You look through this bit".
The girls got to plant some lettuce seed to bring away, and we all had a go at an art activity called "The Big Picture", where there was this big picture (you'd guessed that bit, hadn't you?) cut into little numbered pieces about the size of a matchbox, and you took one and reproduced it, using the crayons/ felt pens etc provided, onto a bit of card about the size of paperback book, and they put it in the right place on the mural.
Finally LOL at me today! I've been rushing around all day today, convinced we were going to a party tonight, and I've just looked at the invitation and realised its tomorrow! Good job I noticed before we went there I suppose!

Nice spring bulb flowers.

I saw Rolf Harris do a pic like that, a lot of artists painted a certain piece of a painting as they interpretted it, it was really cool,

looks like a fun day out. I would love to visit the Eden project one day and if we ever get back to Cornwall I would like to revisit Helligan as it was in its very early stages when we last visited.

Looks like a very fun day. This week I'll be driving through the Skagit Valley of W. Washington where the fields of tulips should be in full bloom. Can't wait! :)

Christine! It looks like there is some sort of robot thingie etched or reflected in the glass above and behind eloise and david. Is that supposed to be there?
Am I hallucinating? More than usual?
Lovely pics, by the way....
