Mixed Up Saturday

 

You have all made it so far,  so just keep swimming!! 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies, 

We made it home around 8.30 ish last night,  all totally exhausted,   but some lovely memories made, the girls thoroughly enjoyed their birthday treat.  On Thursday night I literally couldn't keep my eyes open when we got back, I think the busy atmosphere of London is exhausting, especially when you are on the busy underground,  I still find myself looking round and checking on the girls constantly as I did when they were little.   

Kew gardens was amazing,   so many plants that the girls were familiar with and some they have on their wishlists!   There was so much to see and I'd love to go back in mid spring or summer.    The trip also made Paul and I a lot more confident when it comes to using the Underground,  which will make our future trips much easier.   I will add some of the highlights of our Kew gardens visit....

Beautiful Snowdrops 

Spring Star flower

These are called 'Tree Dahlias '

They were right up in the roof of the glass house.

They look a bit like Clematis I think

Paul & Lucy did a roof top walk way and got 

Some lovely photos. Everything looked so ornate,  I believe this is the largest Victorian Glasshouse in the world. 

The fragrance from this Narcissi was incredible 

The girls both fell in love with this beautiful 

Bird of Paradise plant, a new addition to their wishlists!  

We were at Kew for around 4 hours,  it would take even longer if the gardens were in full bloom.  The Princess of Wales Conservatory was closed too as they are preparing for an Orchid exhibition,  which I would love to see. 

I hope that you all have a great Saturday, 

Love and hugs to all
