Rememberance Sunday at the Eden Project

I was away this weekend at Fowey, Cornwall, and spent Sunday at the Eden Project. They were just assembling an ice rink for skating as we took 2 minutes silence to remember all those who have fought for us in the two great wars. Usually I would have been at the cemetry in Grove, but this time could not be there, but still took time to remember. We were not skating, but looking round the huge biomes which was a fascinating experience. The ice rink is used during the summer for concerts where there have been a number of famous names.

The Eden Project was worth the visit, all built in an old clay pit - reclamation at its best. It is a symbol of hope and very thought provoking on this particular day. It is a growing environment and will change every day with the seasons - very impressive and a place one can always return to. Nine million visitors have crossed the threshold since 2001, many of those coming back for more.
