67 Botanic Gardens and International Photographer of the Year

  A morning in the Botanic Gardens partly viewed from the slightly elevated position of the little red train proved a worthy mode of transport plus a good way of viewing garden spaces. The gardens are strongly green and colourful after  rains.  The offered commentary on the ride was highly informative. 

 Our final destination was the Palm House for the International Photographer of the Year competition where we were able to see some outstanding, beautiful and interesting photographs.   My schoolfriend Gloria King’s photograph has pride of place at the entrance.   I know that she has had other successes and her work hangs in galleries in London.

We had long relaxed conversation  and coffee  in the Gardens Kiosk.
