Kew – Roses and the Palm House

/ Leya / 7 kommentarer

No visit to a Real Garden…goes without roses or a Palm House. This is Kew Gardens.

 

A dotted rose!

The Palm House is always a treat. Today I found a new glorious favourite inside…a Japanese Lantern.

 

Lastly another favourite…a delicate noname plant sweeping its feathers around us.

 

Thursday Thoughts – Another View of Kew

/ Leya / 12 kommentarer

I had not been to Kew for some years…about 35-40 I would guess – and when I finally returned some weeks ago, there were some surprises awaiting. The Hive was one of them, and another one was the Treetop Walkway. 18 metres up in the canopy, you could get a closer look at lime, sweet chestnut and oak trees – as well as a bird’s-eye view of Kew Gardens.

Take the lift up with me to the canopy! Not quite like the Amazon in December, but still great.

 

 

 

Travel theme: Behind

Behind, literally, was the grand Temperate House at Kew Gardens when we visited last week. It would have been nice to visit again…but alas. Some things behind cannot be in front…

Streets of London – Love and Love Not

/ Leya / 31 kommentarer

Big cities demand a lot of walking – London is no exception. The Underground might be the fastest, but the Overground for certain is the nicest. Let’s go for a walk and a ride…and look upon the city with fresh eyes…Today – What do I still love about it and what do I not love that much?

 

…the old Michelin building turned into a restaurant
I love the taxis…
…and I love the bridges too.
But…this new landmark…on Trafagar Square, among lions and old heroes….nooooooo

London is a city I will always come back to. Not in the way I used to as a young girl and woman, I know that. Today it is more of the atmosphere…the walks and the talks. The friendly people. No need for many musicals or concerts or exhibitions…How do You feel about London? Do you go often? Why/why not?
