Kevin and I went to see 'Gardens of Glass' at Kew Gardens last weekend. We almost didn't go as for some reason we got our bus numbers mixed up and hopped on the wrong bus. Almost an hour later and around the same time we both realised that we weren't going the right way... But we persevered and it was well worth it. It was brilliant. Loads of different blown glass pieces scattered around the gardens, both inside and out. I think my favourite was the Thames Skiff - it was so colourful, and as we went on a sunny day it just looked stunning. Some of the pieces in the glass houses were also quite hard to spot - they were done so well that it took a couple of seconds until you realised that it wasn't a plant you were looking at!
Check out the photos - and I've loaded more on to my Flikr account so take a look at that too.
Following that we headed back to Richmond and went to The Cricketers to watch the incredibly nailbiting end of the 4th Ashes test. The pub was full of (mainly) men who were just groaning and hardly daring to look at the screen - great atmosphere. Roll on Thursday when we are off to the Oval for the first day of the last test - can't wait!!
