Our last day of our mini break. Today we went to Kew Gardens. The weather wasn't brilliant to be honest and it threatened rain most of the day, although it held off until we were just about to leave. Boy, that place is massive and I well exceeded my step count, and am paying for it. My knee is screaming, and to be fair we did have lots of sits along the way. We even had a little train ride from one side of the parks to the other. It was very beautiful though, and its good these places exist, to preserve endangered species of flora and trees. We looked in vain for a Banyan tree as we got married beneath one, we found out later that it was in the Orangery. But we couldn't go in there because there was a wedding taking place. Banyan trees are reportedly good luck to get married beneath, which is perhaps why it is housed there where they hold their weddings. Mind you it will cost anything upwards of 20,000 for a basic ceremony at Kew. The one today was far from basic, so I dread to think how much it was. How the other half live eh?
It was a good way to round off our little break away. I've loved spending time with my sister and her husband Pete. It's nice because I don't have to explain when I'm getting towards the end of my limits mobility wise, and also we all get on so well and laugh so much at the same things.
