It is my first weekend in the UK it was nice to sleep in this morning without worrying about waking on time for work. Spent most of the day at the gardens roaming around and taking in the beauty of it all. I went to the plant store at the gardens they sell apples from their hundreds of fruit trees I bought some so I have an apple to take in my lunch this coming week. They have so many varieties that I picked several to try. Their apples turned out a little better than ours at home this year; they had the wettest summer on record this summer. The weather was gorgeous again today it gets quite cold at night but during the day the sun comes out and it gets to mid 70's or so. After exploring the gardens I headed home for some lunch and did some of my green roof reading. I went with my roommate who has a vehicle here to the supermarket and was finally able to get pretty much everything I needed. I now have enough food in theory to last me a week or two. It was nice having someone from the UK to help me pick out what is good and explain to me what stuff was. Upon arriving in the UK they gave me bedding a fitted sheet, a comforter (duvete) and something that looked like a mattress cover. I tried to put the mattress cover over the mattress and discovered there was no way it was going to fit I asked my roommate and she laughingly informed me that it was suppose to go over the comforter. Well I guess now I know. I learned a lot today mainly about the ways of the UK. Here are a few of the pictures I took of the garden today. Enjoy!!!
