We All Need A Getaway...

Everyone has that place where somehow all the worries of our busy lives seem to go away. Whether it is at home or some far away paradise, i believe it is crucial to have a getaway. It's come to that time of year for me when it has been a solid chunk of time since i have been away, and i am definitely getting withdrawal symptoms! My want to get away got me thinking about my favourite place to go, where i can relax and not think about anything! For me, that place is an island off the coast of Cornwall: Tresco. For those of you who do not know, Tresco is one of a bunch of islands which make up the Isles of Scilly. For me it is a place i can relax and not think about anything that i don't want to.

With no cars Tresco was the perfect place to go away as a child. It was the only place that i could go where my mother wouldn't go crazy if she didn't know where i was - because nothing bad ever happens there. However, the most amazing part of Tresco is the landscape, even though it is part of England it has a strange climate which allows it to have amazing gardens growing plants you would usually only see in exotic countries such as Brazil. All this amazing landscape makes for fantastic photos. I have been visiting the island since i was a child, so have a huge number of photos, but i am going to pick what i think are the best photos i have taken from this tranquil island and show them here.

Just looking at those photos makes me want to go back right now! Oh well, i guess it is time to go back to reality. I hope you have enjoyed the photos, and that they have reminded you of your relaxing getaway, wherever that may be.
