British Rail totally screwed up my schedule today (points failure
somewhere...)
so I arrived an hour late after an interesting bus ride from Hammersmith
to
Kew!
However, I had a great time wandering round the gardens, hope you did
too.

I hoped I might bump into you all somewhere, but it was not to be :-(

Another time maybe we should exchange mobile numbers beforehand. I hope
you
didn't wait too long in the Orangery for me before giving me up for
lost,
I
am really sorry to have missed you, but the circumstances were out of
my
control.


We waited until 11am then slowly walked over to the Victoria Gate in case
you were there so we must only just have missed you. Shame. There was only
5
of us but we saw all the glasshouses, well, all except Jim W and Barbara
who
fell behind in the rockery, took a wrong turning, and missed the Alpine
House which is always worth a visit with it's refrigerated bench. Luckily
our mobile phones reunited the party in the Waterlily House.
We had lunch at the Pavilion Restaurant, were you there?
Good day, shame we missed you.
Yes, we must exchange mobile phone numbers next time.

Oh, and Jim, please e-mail me the names of those plants you gave me, I
knew
I should have written them down. :-)

It was great to meet you all! Thanks for a great day.

Oh, I checked up, it turns out that Jim was the one who suggested
I bring the iris pseudacorus with me, though now I re-read his
post, I might have been mistaken. Thanks for lugging them around
all day g.
