Indeed they are GW. Beautiful they are too, but so pricey ! Your pics will be delightful!
First time I've ever been up there and it's only 15 mins away. Will be interesting to see the seasonal changes in the gardens so I'll definitely go again.
;D
i spent the 80's stoating about the bg use to have a flat in the westend
posh or wit !!!! :P
never made it to gbg ended up in edinburgh's instead
Come on then GW, pics of Edinburghs Botanics.... I am going there soon if the weather stays like this.
;D ;D ;D
that is on the agenda too but i can only spend short amounts of time away from the garden as i get itchy to get back "doing" rather than just "looking".
There's a few more pics up on the blog now GW.
;D

....young guys with cameras that pro~photographers dream about...compensating for something methinks ;) ;) (http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/rolleyes008.gif)
at least i have the decency to allow them to finish (http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/angelic002.gif)

....or will you have on your comfy shoes c ;) ;D
What irritates me is when I'm taking pics, and someone comes up to me waving a camera, 'Is that a good photograph?' If they don't know, why would they want a shot of it?
they're just wanting an experts opinion rb ;) :)
Hey, that pic was just like me GW but who was that bloke!!!!
I shall have my brogues on with twin set an pearls to match the Hoi Poloi.
I couldnt get a pic taken when we were in the Chinese Gardens last time we were there (last year). I don't know, they should know when folk frae the Borrrddders are going.
;D ;D ;D

Someone might have a sly pic of me last week...we went out in the car for a drive..didn't really have any set plans on where to go...ended up at an ostrich farm...I was wearing blinking white trousers ::) :D
;D ;D ;D
am almost glad i forgot the camera Hells. Not sure the pics would have been any better !
Got the tulips as my desktop pic atm and it's well big enough with no loss of clarity, colour or sharpness.
Chuffed.

great pics kp, your blogs fair coming along too. well done.
oooh the other pic takes me back to my teens, stiletto heels on all day for work, (standing) then my big 5inch heels for a night out. i've got the bunions to prove it.
Re: Stilleto heels. I remember being at Sea World in the early 80s and had lost my sandals on a beach. I walked round Sea World in shorts and 3 inch heels. Never felt a thing, was just hot. ;D ;D ;D
