Next stop in my day was Company Garden..a place I had been told to go many times since arriving in India...Why? Because it is British built...I've seen British built things for 23years so the reasons didn't exactly get me excited but hey ho I went anyway. Although it is essentially just a very big garden it did have its beauty spots and I had to be firm with myself because I was nearly coming home with another puppy (Sorry Cleo!!)
Anyway Company Garden a very large but beautiful garden with water fountains, a waterfall and a small lake where you could go on a long boat..being a British tourist place the beauty was slightly taken away by the massive food court,bouncy castle, Ferris Wheel and the stupid amount of people who would come up to you offering you stuff to buy for silly prices. Tourist gimmicks aside this place again was another peaceful place that I was happy to enjoy and take in the views. There were so many different flowers that I had not seen before Gommie and Gomps would of had a field day getting seeds for their garden...the one unfortunate this about this place was it was quite busy so you wouldn't be able to stay in one place and photograph things carefully as you were always in the way of someone else.
Although you were always on the move I did have company.. a small brown puppy that followed me all the way around the gardens I had to be a very good girl and not put the puppy in my bag to bring home!!
