I have three dreams for my bucket list... to walk the English gardens, the gardens of the Dordogne and the Tivoli...I may never do it personally ...but with the internet I am able to see photos of it. sigh.

Well dont be despondant..I always dreamed of visiting the Alhambra and Monet's Garden..never thought we would AND we went to Aus and New Zealand (some lovely gardens there). Life has a way of turning things on their heads..you never know!
The Alhambra was a dream born of reading Washington Irving's book, and apart from the tourists (darned nuisance lol), it felt timeless.

oh yes! if we could arrange time travel I'd do a quantum leap to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. BUT...back here on earth... Monet's garden would be liberating...(I'm a dauber) , yes and the Alhambra...Do you like oriental landscape architecture? I have also dreamed of buying a place in Costa Rica and doing a tropical paradise garden/hanging gardens type of thing.... Oh for unlimited funds and time to research and let the old imagination go wild! Or do something completely Eco and make an orchid museum (with live exhibits, of course.) Now you know what a nutter I am!
