![[gifted] You’d be forgiven If you think I’m crazy for even thinking about Christmas. Especially in the middle of November when the big event is a month away. But truthfully, I am thinking of Christmas in the middle of November as I’m trying to be prepared and not leave everything to the last minute – like I usually do.⠀
As I’m writing this, we’re in the second national lockdown, and I don’t know about you – but my plan for Christmas, right now is all up in the air. Meaning, I have no ideas about what I’m doing this year. I’m supposed to do the normal where I see family and so on – but with government restrictions in place, I’m not so sure if that will happen.⠀
If (and this is a big if) I don’t see family this year due to lockdown restriction I still want to give gifts to people, and this is why I turned to @Moonpig.⠀
I can select a gift or card and get it delivered straight to their address. So, while I might not be able to be there in person, I can still let them know I’m thinking of them by sending a little something through the post.⠀
My feeling is that by sending a small gift through the post it still retrain a little bit of sentimental, a feeling where you can’t be there in person, but you’re still thinking of them and will see each other when the restriction is lifted.⠀
Overall, what I’m saying is that Christmas shopping is mostly on my mind during this lockdown and I want to keep a little bit of festivity sentimental by sending gifts through the post via Moonpig. Especially if Christmas this year turned out not to be the season we envision.⠀
Keeping fingers crossed that we can still have a little bit of Christmas magic. ⠀

As lots of you seem to enjoy my Lewes pictures, I thought I will show some different day out pictures. When I had a day at Kew Gardens.
When Richard and I first got together, we use to always travel up to Kew Garden for a day out. It was so romantic walking around, laying on the grass looking up at the sky and talking about our hopes and dreams for the future.
For those who don’t know, Kew Gardens is a massive park/garden area in West London that houses some famous greenhouses and monuments. It also a horticulture dream paradise.
Richard’s parents are into horticulture, so they are friends of Kew, which means they get free passes after paying an annual fee. Which benefits us as we can use the free passes and also go whenever we want.
We’re not into horticulture, one little bit. I don’t have the green thumb skill as every plant I own has all died very quickly and I couldn’t 5 names different plants to save my bloody life. However, it still nice for to walk around and to photograph all the flowers.
Which brings me to my point, someone recently asked me on why I take so many flowers pictures? I didn’t know I did till someone mentions it to me – truthfully flowers are a better subject matter when it comes to photographing. It doesn’t move about and it quite easy to take a picture.
Anyway, a day at Kew Gardens are from a few years ago now, since we been married we haven’t yet gone. We keep talking about it – but we keep making other plans instead. I suppose now I’m working from home full-time, I should make the effort to visit sometime; with or without Richard.
Here are some photos from a day at Kew Gardens. If you want a relaxing day in an open park that covers miles upon miles of flowers and greenery. Then I do recommend you to visit.

July 17, 2017What amazing photos. I have visited Kew Gardens some years ago, but I admit I don’t remember much about them except they were beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Why do we tell people to “earmark” certain things?

July 17, 2017Oh this brings back memories of when I lived in London. Visiting Kew Gardens we always took a picnic. Laying around eating a delicious array of cold salads and drinking Pimms was one of my favourite days out. Exploring Kew Gardens seemed endless. I have yet to see the entire park.
