Wonderful photos Arlene....
with your blogs I always feel like I've accompanied you on the trip....
...l-o-n-g red carpet :o)

Wonderful few hours Arlene,lovely photo,s,you look the bees knees treading that red carpet,well deserved I,m sure,lol.........

Lovely, lovely photos and I even spotted a ladybird among them! Glad you had a good day out.

lovely photos Arlene, you've reminded me it's time I went there again. It's many years now and not far away either.

~Thanks TT
I always think ~what would encourage me to visit ?~and take the photos to show that!

Great photos Arlene...love the regal way you are treading the red carpet ! Lol

Lovely blog Arlene. The red carpet suits your demeanor. I think the yellow flower which you say you don't know the name of is a Phlomis.

Oh Arlene, 'if I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake', as I'm just down the road.
Lovely photographs, Kew changes so quickly and it's only a few weeks since I was there. Glad you had a good day.

~thank you for the nice comments everyone!~
Ginellie~ we usually stay at Kew Bridge Travelodge and have meals at the Coach and Horses on Kew Green.I usually get to visit Richmond for the handmade chocolates and cakes ~and that shopping centre by the National Records office~I like the M and S there!

lucky you Arlene.. and lucky for us u had your camera...;-))

Many Thanks for this, Arlene. I'll get to visit again, sometime, I hope. You deserve the "red carpet" treatment evry time you visit, lol! We used to also visit Petersham Nurseries in Richmond, it's very photogenic.

~will have to go there next time David!
That red carpet had nothing to do with their Summer Swing Concerts~ I'm sure it was just for me~thanks!
