Kew today - I missed you !
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. Marina -- |

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. :-) -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |

Thanks for lugging them around all day g. ******* Barbara Pick out the stones to email me ******* |

We had lunch at the Pavilion Restaurant, were you there? ------ After being packed like sardines into a bus, it was 11.30 before I arrived at the Victoria Gate and legged it swiftly to the Orangery just in case you were still in the area. After a reviving cup of coffee I headed for the Order (veg) beds, as that was the place I thought you might head for first....... then I had no idea. I really loved the rock / water gardens too, and "did" all the glasshouses, and despite the forecast, the weather was good. I had a picnic lunch in the Duke's Garden, looking out at the Hot Border, which was stunning. I'm pleased you all had a good day too. Marina |

When I have organised similar get togethers in the past, we always had a
back up meeting place at lunchtime or if was an afternoon gathering then a second meeting place around tea time. We didn't have mobiles in those days. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Forgot to mention, if anyone else is going to Kew this year they have a very interesting exhibit near the Brentford Gate called the "Field Hospital". It looks for all the world like a half finished or half wreaked shack but is well worth a look. It's about herbal remedies etc., and they want your ones handed down in your family, they provide the cards to write on too. -- Bob www.pooleygreengrowers.org.uk/ about an Allotment site in Runnymede fighting for it's existence. |
