HERE'S A KEW

j and n took another weekend and decided to tour the outskirts of london again ... hampton court was so much fun so we ventured out west of the city again ... this time to the neighborhood of richmond to wander the kew royal botanic gardens ... it was amazing, beautiful, breathtaking and so relaxing ... enjoy the tour

a nice walk through the neighborhood to get to kew gardens


the grounds of kew

one of the many ponds on the grounds


and one of the many greenhouses
this one the palm house


nice to wander the grounds and get lost for the day




we went on a treetop walkway ...
18m above ground

amazing views

a visit to the japanese gardens at kew


kew palace ... it was closed to visitors
but we wandered around anyways


to warm up we stopped at kew greenhouse cafe
for steak and ale pie and homemade macaroni
seriously the best food ever!

and who could resist a piece of lemon meringue pie that looks like this?!?!

cheers ~n
