Wakehurst

Went to Wakehurst (part of Kew) with a friend and three friends of hers.  By car, unfortunately a trip that would be impossible by public transport.  Lovely walk round the gardens and sitting on a bench by a pond in the sunshine.  Saw some thrushlike birds in a field on the way home that I think were redwings.  Planned to get some winter aconites on the way out of the gardens, two pots as a birthday present for a neighbour and one for me, but the shop was shut half an hour before the gardens (Sunday trading hours?) so wasn't able to.
