Mal took the day off from marking and I had the last of my birthday ‘treats’…….a day out at Kew Gardens. Thankfully the weather was really good. We decided to go by train as we would be walking round all day and I didn’t fancy doing all the driving as well. Yes, I now have a Senior Railcard!!
If you print out a voucher from the Internet, there are numerous places you can visit in London, show your rail ticket and voucher and you get 2 for one entrance, which of course we did and had concessions anyway because of our age. Oooh, I like this being 60!
It is years since either of us had visited Kew and it was a great day. I took so many pictures that I think I will have to spread them over a few days. I don’t like heights but decided I had to face my fear and so joined Mal up the steps of the Tree Top walk. I went up and up and started the walk and then it started to sway, that was it, Mal continued and I went back down…coward.
We stayed until it closed and then caught the train to Alexandra Palace to visit Tristan, Amanda and our new baby grand daughter Violet. She is gorgeous, yes, I know I am biaised about all my 10 grandchildren. It was a long day and we didn’t get home until after midnight….exhausted.
