Kew Gardens must be amongst the World's top destinations

We were blessed with good weather and an amazing display of colour. We loved every square inch of the place. Every corner turned was met with a "wow!". Truly beautiful. They are gearing up to an exhibition of works by Henry Moore and many were already on display in the gardens. Loved it!
