Around the place

Hello people...and others

It's been a busy few weeks with a couple of birthday parties, a bit of monkey business and some functions starting to come along to the pub. Recently I took a squiz at Kensington palace and Kew gardens but mostly went and partied in london a bit so here's a look at some of the people i've been hanging around with at this pub...

ok, we had been out for a while before this picture was taken hence the cheesy looks! from left to right Illious(aussie/greek), Jatin(indian), Myself(alien) & Monica(polish).....we never did learn what the name of the club was!

Ah ..... now the memories come back!

Now onto kew gardens...it's the largest botanical garden in britain and it really was a lot larger than i thought it would be. There were all sorts of wild animals and plants from golden pheasants to kangaroos, artic plants to eucalyptus trees and a peacock or two. In short the place has a whole bunch of listed buildings including kew palace (right), thousands of species of plants either in greenhouses, set up in areas by their family or unique flower arrangements; a really interesting picture display next to an inside climbing area for the kids, some nice ponds & wildlife - all the above mentioned plus squirrels (of course). For all this you pay about 12 pounds, pay a little bit more and you can pot about with all the oldies (luckily they're not driving) on a train like thing which drives on the paths.

Here's a view of the Temperate house, one of the many greenhouses about the place
