Kew Gardens

Kath had mentioned that her photos from her last visit to Kew Gardens had mysteriously vanished so we all decided to recreate the last visit. 

We decided to do this visit on Saturday as this was predicted to be sunny whilst Sunday was meant to be gloomy.  This was not the case on the day.

Despite this we had an enjoyable time wondering around the gardens.

On our way to the gardens we stopped off to have morning tea at a coffee shop.  It was decked out as a garden.

 

We wondered through the glass houses which had plants from the tropics (e.g. orchids) to deserts (e.g. cacti).

Mum had packed a lunch so we could have a mini picnic.  Whilst they ate I got a bit peckish so Grandma kindly help me have my milk.

There was a new feature called the 'Tree Top Walk'.  It is a circular walkway about 5m above ground which winds through some of the trees canopies.

This wasn't bad but it originally had a lift for disabled/prams.  Unfortunately, it kept getting stuck so its out of commission.

The view from the top was good, especially was we saw Jim, Kath and Zachary.
