the pavilion





















This is the pavilion that you always see on the TV when they are talking about Kew Gardens.
  



Here is a peek inside.

Looks fine, but I was expecting more. I think in Victorian days, it would have been amazing, but now-a-days your local B&Q will have a small version of most of these plants. So slightly less impressive to modern eyes.

Kew Gardens


This brave little fella stood his ground while the amateur wildlife photographer sneaked up on him. He’d barely time to jump back in his ‘larder’ and then zig zag away with a nut.
Well, it could have been a nut. Dunno really.
