Maeve, me and Pasca with some large creatures greeting us at the entrance |
On our second morning waking up in Canberra, Papa, Pasca, Maeve and I headed to Cockington Green, a formal gardenscape populated with miniature recreations of British village life and remarkable buildings from all around the world. It was strange and beautiful and hilarious. There was even a dizzying labyrinth, which the girls and I tried to navigate with our gaze, but ultimately proved to be too much. We rode the steam train around, played a quick game of hop-o bump-o (thanks John!), and admired the flowers (and hardworking bees). A great way to while away the morning.

Wouldn't be English without cricket! |
 |
Love pastoral scenes, even in fake miniature |
 |
Freddy and Jason, an odd find |
 |
Gorgeous banks of begonias |
 |
Dahlias and bees, what's not to love? |
 |
The mesmerizing labyrinth |
 |
There were also a few dinosaurs tucked away in the hedges... |
 |
The paths were lined with all sorts of plants, including tons of peppers. I picked a few for our dinner of tortilla soup that night |
Hop-o bump-o! Good times
