Kew
Long time no see – almost not since it was 2d to get in through the turnstiles. Bluebells, mostly, but rhododendrons too, and azaleas.

Then along the river path to Richmond – at least a dozen herons on the bank or dozing in trees.

A reminiscent stop opposite old Isleworth and “The London Apprentice”, scene of many a lunchtime pint back in the late 60s early 70s.

The tide was in at Richmond, so we had to paddle a bit- just where I used to ride my bike through the water when I was a kid.
