    Visit to Kew Gardens in London

    We arrived in London 2 days before the European PT-meeting. On Monday, we decided we wanted to re-visit the beautiful Kew Gardens. We had been there nearly 25 years ago, so it was about time to go there again! Of course you all know why Bernard loves to go there: he can always use new ideas for our own garden, lol!
    On to the pics now!


    There he goes, my gardener


    This made me giggle....










    more coming...

    Those are beautiful. I just love the giant lilly pads.

    But what's up with that butt? What exactly is it?
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    Wow! What beautiful flowers in those gardens. I could have spent all day there myself.

    I went and looked at the pictures of your PT meeting and I can tell what a great time everyone had. Looks like all of you had a blast!!

    It is not a butt, lol. It is some kind of nut and its shell, rather rare. Anybody here who knows the real name??

    It's a wonderful place, and I'm surprised you were able to tear Bernard away from it for the Pet Talk gathering!

    It looks wonderful there! Although I've been to England countless times, I've never been to see Kew Gardens. I have to next time!

    Your photos are absolutely beautiful, what a variaty of flowers. I bet Bernard got some inspiration.

    Kew Gardens are really worth a visit! You can get there by tube (District line).

    Oh yes, Bernard got plenty new ideas! Guess where he spend his time after we got home, and during last weekend???
    Yup yup, in the garden and at the gardencenter

    btw, he is turning 50 today!! Habby birthday dear!!

    No, I got him a book he wanted ("Voltaire"), and a big supply of cookies and dark chocolate!
