1. A Sunday morning visit to the botanical gardens at Kew was really enjoyable.
2. Loved this monogrammed H&M cushion...
3. ...and this Habitat throw.
4. Hiding behind pillars in the old Victorian glasshouses at Kew Gardens!
5. Saturday lunch at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant to celebrate my chap's birthday.
6. Ordering fizz before midday is always a treat (and always very fun)!
7. Toasting the day with Lady Chatterley's Lover cocktails at the W Hotel bar.
8. A sneaky photograph of the St. Martin's theatre safety curtain during the interval of Mousetrap, which is the longest running show in London's West End - now in it's 58th year!
9. Loved these Poppies I spotted whilst walking around at Kew Gardens.
10. The weathered Victoriana of the glasshouses made the visit all the more romantic; I especially liked this spiral staircase.

ReplyDeleteGreetings! I saw your blog featured on another blog, and when I saw "Kew Gardens" for this post of yours, I said to myself, "Oh Lord, a guy from Queens, NY???!!" Meaning, New York, USA!! But then I saw you said the UK! LOL! Well, I am from NY, so that's my first reaction -- NYC boroughs, YAY! :) Well, check out my blog when you get a chance, because I did a "Royal Wedding Cocktail" from your own 'mother land' :)
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Kew Gardens is so lovely. Actually that whole area is great and this is where we will be looking to settle when we hit London in 2012.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in no 4 - you have to have that one blown up and framed for your new pad!
Can't believe that Mousetrap is still going AAAAND that I still haven't seen it..! Or have I..? I forget.. We used to travel to London several times a year and attend plays, musicals, exhibitions and concerts when I was little. My grand father was in the theater and I love that I grew up with a strong influence of stage life.
Happy rest of the week to you my friend.
