Holiday

Well I did really well with that promise to myself didn't I? Oh well. I'll get round to blogging about all that stuff I've got saved up at some point.

Anyway, had a great holiday last week with my boyfriend in Cornwall. Here is the beautiful view out of our tent:

As you can see, the weather was quite kind to us as well. We packed a lot into our 4 days, one of the highlights being the very impressive Eden Project. They really practice what they preach, providing recyling facilities at every turn and considering the impact they will have on the environment when they build a new building, and trying to minimise it. I was also very impressed by the way they have just put that little bit more thought into everything to make the whole of the Eden experience inclusive to everyone. The variety sandwiches in the cafe catered for meat eating people, vegetarians, vegans, those with allergies such as gluten. Most of the site was accessible for wheelchairs and so were the buses that transport you from the car park to the main site. Braille was used appropriately on some exhibits and most of the signs telling you about each plant or project had a simple Widgit (a symbol language for those with a learning disability) translation at the bottom. I think this just goes to show that a little more thought goes a long way towards including everyone.
