Visit to Kew Gardens.....

14 comments


On Saturday we went on a trip to Kew, this time we had longer there as we went via train and underground, I wasn`t keen on getting up at `5`45am but it was worth it……..
It was overcast at times but the rain didn`t arrive until late afternoon which was good for us,as to the rest I`ll let my photo`s speak for me 239 in all but don`t panic I wont add them all. lol……..


We even ventured up the Xstrata Treetop Walkway,18 metres high, my 9yr old grandsons idea, he was petrified at first as was his mum , however we persuaded them to walk around as they had done the hardest part by climbing up in the first place ,oh boy my legs ached…….

Back on terrafirma and time to find a cuppa…… Of course its nice to include our feathered friends and there`s plenty to be seen and heard.

Even some happy chucks.

My grandson was very taken with the size and ages of the trees…

He is learning all about saving the planet so was gleaning all the info to tell his teacher and classmates.

As with our gardens some things are later this year but the shrubs and flowers in bloom were marvellous…..

We did go in the glasshouses as well but I`d better put them seperately, all of us really enjoyed ourselves and when we left Kew we took George and his Mum to see Big Ben and the London Eye,both of them refused to go on though……..LOL……

Lovely pics Lincs,and I wouldn't go on the treetop walkway either,when we went.
We must have good taste,as I posted the one of the fallen tree trunk after we went.:o)) It really is a lovely feature isn't it? I bet almost everyone takes one of it,and rightly so.Glad you all had a lovely day out,and your Grandson got all
info he needed for school.Wish my Camellia would get a move on,..nearly there now.....

Nice to share in your trip you took some good photo`s, but my stomach turned just looking at the treetop walk. Like Bloomer my Camellia is very slow but there are lots of buds just waiting to be woken up.

Great visit to Kew, LL! I've never been there but it is most definitely a place I'd love to spend a couple of days visiting!

Loved all your photos & I'd also love to go along that tree top walk. So glad you had such a fabulous day out.

I enjoyed sharing in this trip, plenty of variety - I particularly liked the birds on the water.
I hate heights myself, unless I am flying.

Thanks for that, I haven't been to Kew yet. You have given me a real taster. I was given tickets for my birthday but haven't used them yet. Can't wait to go now.

~ fantastic blog~ my husband managed to get me up the Walkway but it was very windy plus there were loads of groups up there so that the whole thing shook when you walked.The view is spectacular but better to do it when it is quiet and not a school holiday!
