Kew visit


We went to Kew Gardens today - us and a ton of other people - no parking anywhere along the road, so we had to pay to park in the carpark. Luckily, we had a free entrance ticket for two adults and the kids are free anyway, so we didn't mind so much having to pay to park. The weather forecast was good for the whole day - sunny, even - which is no doubt why there were so many people out. The gardens didn't really seem crowded, actually - you can get a lot of people in there before it begins to seem busy. And we visited a lot of the less busy parts, at the back along the river, Queen Charlotte's Cottage (not open, but the grounds) and so on.

I let the girls use the camera most of the time, so they took a lot of photos of flowers (some of them very good, I think) - one of the many nice things about a digital camera... You can see those flower photos (and some more of us (above is my mother & the kids, but there is actually one of me with the others!) here, on flickr.
