After our brilliant weekend in York we are able to regroup - do some washing, blogging, organising - so a slow start for us, meanwhile Steve & Eryn are off to work bright and early.
We promised to organise the evening meal after our day out. Around midday we were on our way to Kew Gardens - just a few train stops away from Chiswick Park.
Naturally, it is set in a leafy and beautiful neighbourhood - or should that be the other way round? We spent the day strolling in the gardens, the hothouses, among the tall trees and the expansive meadows. The gardens have a variety of interesting buildings - the Palace, a Japanese Pagoda, Galleries and then there are lakes and fountains and little bridges - the local fauna mingles with the tourists. The pigeons invade all the lunch places of course. We spent some of the day painting a picture or two and enjoyed the space and fresh air.
By the time we left and organised the short train ride home we were running late for the promised dinner we were to prepare. Nevertheless, a quick whiz around the local Sainsbury's and we were stocked up with supplies and able to provide a three course meal - with nibbles and drinks as a warm up.
Tomorrow is an early start and we need to get out of the apartment without disturbing the residents - we'll see how that goes!
