An alternative view of Kew

What a treat - I love Kew Gardens. I shall show my age by remembering when it cost one old penny to get in!!!

Thanks for the lovely photos. :-)

Thanks Spritz~well worth the detour!Fortunately we get in free as friends of Kew!

What's an old penny Spritz?

~one that has been made a long time!

I remember that too, Spritz! My Dad used to take me there I think with a view to turning me into a gardener but, sadly, it never worked until he passed away and I took up his mantle, but memories of the Tropical House will stay with me forever.

lucky you Arlene it looks wounderful there. you had lovely weather too.

Thanks for showing these photos Arlene. Kew is a place I'd love to visit one day. Only been there once back in the 70s.

You are far too young to remember old pence, Toto - say after me - 'twelve pence equals one shilling', etc etc.

Hehe - you can tell I was a teacher, can't you?

Certainly can Spritz. I'm not really that young. I had my 21st. birthday during the early part of last month.

i remember old money. i old penny used to buy twelve black jacks...yum yum...lol

Lovely pics Arlene - glad the weather kept fine for you ..is it me do I need a trip to opticians ? is your font size changing .Oh to be 21 again like Toto is or has been several times ... lol

~I don't know what happens BB ~you don't need specs!

Thanks for sharing those lovely photos.

Thanks for the reassurance Arlene ..strange how it changes back half way through .

That might have been a cottage to Queen Charlotte but to the rest of us in real life - well, need I say more?
I'm a tree hugger too.

Great photos, and loved the picture of the geese with their goslings.Bluebells looked super too. Here is another tree hugger. (A BARKing mad person who loves to feel that wonderful texture.
