We piled into the car and Nigel and Monique took us to 'Kew Gardens' today.
On the way we drove through 'Richmond Park' and saw some Deer. And then through 'Kingston' - oh how the other half live ($$$$$ pricey houses).
And what do you know.............. it has finally rained. Not the best day to be outside but we still had a great day.
'Kew Gardens' was beautiful. We walked around checking out the gardens and buildings (jackets on and umbrellas up).
Rain started to come down harder so we took shelter in the cafe and had some lunch hoping it would stop by the time we had finished.
It had eased so we then went to the 'Treetop Walk'. Why is there so much to do that involves heights!!!
Pete, Hannah and Chloe walked up while the rest of us took the elevator. The floor that you are walking on is grated and creaked. There was also a slight swaying feeling. Once again the others had no fear and were taking off and looking over the rail.
We 'ALL' then took the elevator back down and started walking back to the car park. Nigel had the map and got us totally lost - we almost ended up back where we started. Came across an abandoned wheelchair (hope it was abandoned) and Pete and the girls took turns in it.
Back in the car and headed home.
