Temperate house

I love the temperate house. Also, clivia always makes me think of happy days in Wayland. Nice.

 

My parallel life

Somewhere in an alternate universe, I live in England and work here...

End of the orchids

Kew was just starting to take down their orchid festival. Still incredible. A little humid though.

Lovely old Kew

Kew gardens on a sunny spring day, what could be better?

The great wall

When I was little and used to visit Gran, Mum would let me walk along the top of this wall. It always seemed so high. How my perspective has changed...

Gran's old home

Gran's place used to be magical. She had oars for a ceiling,, an enclosed garden, a view out onto the Thames. In fact, she was right on the river and had to have her door at window level in case of flooding. How fun!

Strand on the green

After hitting Kew, I decided it was just a short detour to walk the toe path along the river where Gran used to live. Lovely...
