On Saturday 30th March I drove my kids down to an Easter party in South Somerset. We did have trip to stop off at a mainstream sort of garden center. It broke our long journey in half.
We got to the end of one A road and straight on would have taken us to a wonderful rustic garden center called Desert to Jungle. We went there last summer and had a really fantastic time. We turned left to go to the Easter party that we had been invited to. If we had turned right we would have got to the biggest city in South Somerset. It is a place I love to take the train to in the summer.
Have you made yourself over to somewhere and remembered other places you have enjoyed seeing in the past?

Do you know I have never been to any place in Somerset, sure I have been through it endless times on the way to the West Country, but have never stopped off. Somerset is famous for cider isn't it. I know my mum sometimes goes away with her sister to Minehead and she likes Lynton and Lynmouth. I love taking the train down to the west coast, and love the stretch of line that goes across the beach front between Exeter and Plymouth. It's very scenic through Devon and Cornwall and I go through places where I have been to before en-route.

I do that all the time. I go on a street and think how much it is similar to another place I have been and when I was younger, we used to go to Lynn Valley and Stanley Park in Vancouver, and then when we traveled there was this place where three mountain ranges met in British Columbia and there was this restaurant in Saskatchewan where we always went and for some reason was always comparing places to that. Most of those travels were in a car. Oh that place where three mountain ranges meet (forgot the name it being so long ago) it had this lovely shop that was almost like those big box shops and you could get so many things there, but I never had enough money to shop there.

This reminds me of a trip I had many years ago. We were taking some friends to Solvang, a small town near Santa Barbara, California known as a tourist place called Danish Village. It's about 100+ miles north of Los Angeles where I lived. On the way there, we saw an exit from the freeway that I was so familiar with during my high school years. That exit would have taken us to another small town called Ojai where I spent my last two years of High School at. It brought back so much memories that we did end up taking the exit and revisited my high school up in the valleys. We arrived at the motel we booked in Solvang about an hour later than expected, but at least I got to take some pictures of my old high school and its dormitories where I had lived about seven years before.
