The Pineapple

Yay weekends, Yay giant pineapples! And a hearty Whoopie for another list item ticked off.
 Today we visited the Dunmore Pineapple.  A lovely, crazy building in a gorgeous walled garden.  It's been a very longstanding ambition of mine to go see it, so today was extremely satisfying.

Why a pineapple? good question, clearly the bloke in charge at the time was a little cuckoo! lol, no, seriously it's an old symbol of hospitality and welcome.  Also the gardens were heated with furnaces at one time allowing exotic fruits like pineapples to be grown right here in Scotland.  The gardens are still beautiful if a little less balmy now.  We picked a bag full of glorious crab apples as an edible reminder of our trip (guess I can tick off another b2/m2 item to boot) to the wacky and wonderful pineapple.

 The list is doing pretty well, I really need to scratch my head a little though for some more items.  Tuesday is looking good for #29 (take one) as I'm thinking of having an industrial added to my left ear, we'll see!
