These photos are actually about a month old – I think the longest time I’ve ever had between experiencing something and posting about it! Between Brexit and my illness, things have gotten a bit delayed. I hate posting things late, and I avoid blogs that do that kind of thing often. I get how it happens but it just frustrates me – anyone else or am I alone? These are a postcard from back when we still had beautiful cherry blossoms fluttering around the landscape! I wore a vintage 1950s dress that once belonged to my Grandmother and tried my hardest to blend in.

Kew Gardens hold a lot of special memories for me; I spent a huge amount of time here as a teenager sketching and working on my Art GCSE and A-Level. It’s such a beautiful place and I never tire of visiting the same gardens over and over – just a slight change in the weather, or the seasonal differences in the plants can make the same place feel so very different. We had a textbook early summer day: cherry blossoms, bluebells, ducklings and goslings, soft sunlight, inquisitive foxes, vegan picnics and carpets of daisies. I wonder how things will have changed next time I’m there?

    Huge victorian greenhouses are my fave <3 Eden Project was amazing, but I’ve never really been to many other places like this! I’m gonna get my act together and make a visit! xxx

    I LOVE KEW! I love these photos too – you, your dress (can’t believe that belonged to your grandma? She has brilliant taste!), the cherry blossoms, ducklings and the gorgeous fox. The fox photo really is amazing, I like how you can see the fluffyness of his fur, and he looks like he’s smiling, although I think foxes always look like that. I’ve never been to Kew with the blossoms out, I’ll make sure I’m there for spring next year xx

    Such a beautiful dress, belonged to your grandmother, so nice! I liked to see the pictures very much, old or not. Not soooo old :) I know some bloggers that do that and yes, it is a bit strange when it too often. Once in a while is fine :) I loooved the gardens! I lived in England for 6 years, and believe it or not, never went there. It was a time when I didn’t pay attention to nature :( I will go back in January and for sure will visit them – though I know it will be winter!
