Well, it wasn't the brightest of days in the morning and frankly, I almost didn't go for it's rather disappointing taking photo's on a dull day but, wow, by the time I reached Kew's car park, the sun was most determinedly breaking through the clouds. I even managed to take a few pics outside and within the warmth of the Princess of Wales Conservatory, where Kew had arranged an Easter trail for the cocoa bean and plants. And outside as well, there were other exhibitions and sites of interest for children and grown-ups about cocoa; all linked to Easter and Easter eggs and the interest we all share in the plant life, seeds and fruits that our world grows, which we all enjoy, one way or the other.
Kew is so at the centre of our world - its work, its people and the exhibitions and shows held for our benefit. I just love the gardens and the site it dwells on; its a fascinating place, venue and site of enormous interest.
The history of Kew is so interesting and I really am still in the process of putting some facts together in an easy and coherent style.......and soon!
I came home with a cold, just a little one really, which without a single word to me, by way of apology, turned into a real head case, making me take to my bed for complete rest and sleep!!!
Thank goodness it's slowing ebbing away and I'm truly hoping to be up and running again very soon, and then I can put up my history on Kew!!
And here is Kew Palace......rather a distant photo, I have to admit, but I was racing back to my car to get home to Oxfordshire, and the car park was right over the way from this point, and my drive home was simply bound to take two full hours, at that time of day. And then I was going out straight away again, when I got home, so..............it's not a good photo,, hey? Better luck next time I think!
