Too late in spring to see a host of golden daffodils, but the tulips were at their best in Kew Gardens yesterday. We spent all day at the gardens on a great spring cloudless day. Kew Palace was undergoing restoration, but we were able to walk through it. I have included a photo of the front garden taken from the third floor. The palace is really a large functional home, no doubt built to be practical for the times.
A noticeable thing about the trees in the gardens, is that even the huge very old trees still have a very symetrical shape, probably due to the abscence of strong winds that we experience in New Zealand. Well this is a motorbike trip, so today we are going to visit Londons largest Triumph motorcycle shop. Do not worry I "promise" not to buy one & ship it home.
Told you England was nice just like the people, was looking fwd to trying out a Tiger in Ashburton ah well. Chris will have to catch up on your blogs. Beats working.
