Well since the candle light session before Xmas there has been no word that
I have heard from the gardens.

I wonder how many watched the "20" favourite holidays last week.
They gave Wales 1.5 million visitors that is North, Mid and south
combined........
Way above was Devon and Cornwall with 4 million which goes a long way to
explain why The Eden project get so many more visitors.
We have to remember that the gardens were set up as Botanic gardens not
primarily as a tourist attraction.

Lets just hope that the New Year brings some good news in some form or
another.

There was a news item on teletext on Sunday,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/3366715.stm seems the nearest item on
the BBC pages, that talks are proceeding with the "mystery potential
buyer" and that the redundancy notices, which were due to come into
effect on the 5th, would not be acted on at this stage. There may be
hope yet.
