MORE OF LONDON FAMILY

 
Kids are working hard at school work.........so much to do in the first week back at school................Dad and Mum spend a lot of time helping them..............they should do well......

Mum walks to school .................but the scooter is the chosen transport mode for the school kids...........Surprised that most of the students come this way, ............they have special scooter................racks ....................


Don't I look beautiful..................we are going to a wedding.............the next door family's daughter is the bride...
This the bride and groom.............it was a wonderful day..........lots of great Indian food..........and we just love the wedding outfits.

 On Sunday we visited the WORLD GARDEN.......in Kent.............Lullingstone Castle....... These are succulents displayed ..............The plants were in their shapes........................ of  the countries of their origin......background...........A labour of love........Suprised to find a Eucalyptus collection............Great day.
 Nana and grandchildren with the owner....................TOM HART DYKE..............a very inspiring gardener.....................What he has achieved is amazing...............and only has a few volunteers helping............Sad that the taxes have forced the castle to be divided up into apartments...............Another time will go a tour of the castle that is open to the public...........Tom has a Australian Plants Society group in the UK...................have promised to forward some information from our group in Victoria.............Tom lived in Australia for 12 months,,,,..............especially in Tasmania.............loved our country.....Still has  plans to expand the plantings........................Surprised to find a golf course.........walking tracks.........horse riding areas.......and a RomanVilla here.

At work in the allotment................Winter is on the way.......... Have been eating the succulent corn cobs.................yum.....................Also had some rhubarb stewed up for sweets.

Can you see the squirrel on the roof...................They are a common site...................but to me I get excited every time they come..............Not very big....................but they have such a beautiful tail....
Seen some magpies.............but not a lot of birds around at present...........
Plans are now in effect...............cakes for party.............are in the oven.......party bags packed.........now we are just waiting..
Life is very full on here in London............
Wish you all could be here sharing in the FUN.
Lots of Love to all.
