It's a 45 acre historic cemetery close to the centre of Bristol, "where the history of the city is told in a leafy and tranquil setting." Don't be put off by the idea of visiting a cemetery - this place is beautiful and so peaceful. Among beautiful monuments, there is an abundance of plants and flowers. And bird song to lift the heart! The guide book says there are about two dozen species there. Also, exhibitions about the history of the place, and a lovely gift shop. A real, and unusual, treat.

Waternish is the middle bit in the North of Skye. It is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt places I have ever been to. Fantastic views to the Outer Hebrides. Some interesting craft places dotted about. The clearest air I've ever breathed. Wish I could have bottled it to take home. I have to make do with the photo I took of the Minch (Loch/Sea?) which is now the background on my computer.

Its a wool shop like no other! They sell naturally dyed yarn (including the softest, most snuggly double knit with cashmere in it) in a spectrum of sumptious colours. Some of the plants that make up the colours are grown locally too. They also sell natural yarns - I never knew sheep came in so many shades: nothing boring about these greys, browns and black wools. If you don't knit, you can come away with a hand made jumper or scarves, socks ... and wonderful buttons! There is also an exhibition about the process of dyeing and about the plants used.
I recommend it because the stuff in the shop is lovely, the people in the shop are friendly and helpful, and the exhibition is interesting.
And, Waternish as a whole is one of the lovliest places I have ever been.
