Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens were beautiful. They had an India-themed orchid exhibition which I quite enjoyed.

We had lunch at the cafe at the Kew Gardens, which was so so.
After lunch we each had a half pint of beer at Tap on the Line pub by the railway station which was nice.





After we got home and rested for a bit, we walked to a really nice Kerala restaurant called "Anjanaa's" and had a very good meal.

National Archives

Gits and I visited the National Archives and Kew gardens in Kew on Saturday. The National Archives hold "The Domesday Book" which was basically the first land registry compiled about a 1000 years ago.


They have all kinds of other government records such as the poster here:








They also had an exhibit by Ian Kirkpatrick on the First World War. He had created these amazing sculptures from cardboard that were quite evocative.

 Here are my other pictures from National Archives:
