It’s been a while since I posted anything about London but I’m going to be typical here and blame the weather (it’s difficult to be enthusiastic when your extremities are freezing off)! I got a little stir-crazy last weekend and we decided to brave the icy cold Russian wind and take a visit to Kew Gardens - embarrassingly, I have lived a 15-minute drive away from the Gardens for the past 7 years and have never visited. Set in sprawling grounds, it’s got a bit of everything: nature, wildlife (don’t get too excited, I mean London wildlife i.e. peacocks, squirrels and geese), grand Victorian glass houses filled with exotic plants, galleries and probably one of the best gift shops I have ever been to! Of course the weather was atrocious so excuse the grey skies, but just try and picture this place in the summer with wild flowers growing everywhere and glorious sunshine!
very cool. love all the pictures!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I can only imagine how even more magnificent it is in the Spring and Summer.

ReplyDeleteI just realized I wasn't following you, i.e. not on GFC. I've taken care of that ;-)

ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely. Hope to be living in London soon, so hopefully I can check it out in person!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place... I totally know what you mean by having a beautiful garden right near you and not getting a chance to visit. Then when you do, it's absolutely amazing. I love the Japanese pictures. I love the raked rocks.
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks beautiful! Great photos, makes me wish for spring!
