at 91 degrees F we were melting of course.
went on an organised tour taking in an orchid garden, so have a load of pics of different types of orchids, and an old plantation house which was interesting for it's carriage and saddlery collection , as well as its insight into how a planter would live.
one of the carriages, a governess cart, had been donated by the show jumper Harry Lewellyn, and there was a side saddle that used to belong to Lady Alfred Munnings, wife of the artist.
the usual collection of bits - have you ever noticed, what goes around, comes around, in bits as in other matters?
then after lunch we took ourselves into bridgetown, and were impressed by their parliment museum and the "national heroes gallery" - they've had artists do stuff based around the idea of 10 national heroes - only one of whom i had heard of, GAry Sobers the cricketer.
