We had fine weather in London last week. The sun was shining and a soft breeze kissed its way up the Thames and through the city. We weren’t going to let it go to waste. On Saturday herself and I took the train from our digs in the East-End and headed South-West to check out Kew Gardens in the Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
David Attenborough says that Richmond is his favourite place on the planet and if you ever get the chance to go there then you’ll understand why. It’s a beautiful corner of the world and on a warm spring afternoon you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. We were there for the best part of six hours and didn’t manage to cover even a half of its vast and sprawling grounds or even so much as scratch the surface of what this incredible place has to offer. We took some photographs but, of course, nothing can do the place justice as much as going there for yourself.
I should be writing more but when you have the weather, the surroundings, and good company then nothing else seems to matter.
I love Kew Gardens, especially in the spring. Nice pictures. Your blog is always entertaining and informative.
Lovely, I’ve never been to Kew Gardens though I’ve been to London many times.
Can’t wait for a little bit more green on this side of the big pond. Good to see you’re getting it before us 😀
Your pics and story are fabulous. Thanks
Reblogged this on Dark Earth Rising.

Pleased to meet you. 🙂
Would you be interested in helping to promote my upcoming Pubslush crowdfunding campaign in exchange for a free copy of my book ‘METAPHYSICAL MAN The Don Quijote Of The Digital Age’? I also reciprocate by reblogging articles I find interesting from friends of my blog.
As you may or may not know crowdfunding is a way for creative and enterprising people to fund a project by soliciting small monetary contributions from a large number of people. Many artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers, etc., have found great success crowdfunding for their projects. This is my first time using Pubslush but with your help I hope to have a successful campaign.
