    Feeling tired today - had to go out again not long after I got back from Kew, and finally got home around the time that Liri would have. But I hadn't travelled all night the night before! That's dedication - hope you can have a quiet recovery day today, Liri. 

    It was so lovely to meet you all, and it occurred to me last night that I'm no nearer guessing anyone's age than I would have been beforehand. We are indeed all 27! 

    Next time: Chelsea Physic Garden and/or the Garden Museum?

    Hi folks, sorry for being late on parade, bit of a problem this morning and I was just too tired to post last night.  Had a lovely time meeting you all and look forward to another trip.  According to my fitbit we walked 16,000 steps yesterday.  No wonder we were all tired.  Can't wait to see the piccies. I'll take a look at mine when I get the chance and try and post some once the gremlins have moved on.

    By the way I stopped at that lovely cafe at Kew and ate quiche and salad followed by a wonderful piece of spiced apple tart and creamimage sat for about an hour in the sunshine before going back to Euston for the 7.30 train it was a perfect end to a lovely day.

    Hi folks - it was a delight to meet the five of you yesterday, and it was a truly lovely day.  image  I got home by midnight, thanks to my lovely OH going out of his way to get to the bus station by the time I arrived (cutting short his rehearsal so he could be earlier).  I'm also tired this morning - can't think why...

    It's sheer greed making me salivate at the mention of spiced apple tart and cream, Yvie.  You'd think I'd be satisfied with cake...  image

    You did well Liri getting home at that time.  It was 9.30 by the time I got home and you had so much further to go.
