This is the 4th time DH and I have travelled to the UK, and the 4th time we have experienced wonderful weather with the exception of the first two days, which were cool and overcast. No rain! I’ve been taking a lot of photos, but half are flowers and gardens, and a quarter are food! Below are some of the other pictures I’ve taken.
#1 many an alley was decorated for the coronation
#2 boats for hire on the Thames.

#3 stumbled upon the tavern that is featured in ‘Ted Lasso’
#4 sunset as seen from our hotel window
#5 Red deer in Richmond park
#6 the line up at Platform 9 3/4’s Kings Cross!
#7 the river Cam
#8 one of the colleges (King’s College?) most of the colleges were closed to the public since students are preparing for exams. Some gates were open, but only for a peep inside.

#9 I take a lot of pictures of doors and gates…
#10 everywhere (Richmond, London, Cambridge) it seems ‘No Mow May’ is a ‘thing’. With the exception of playing fields, the grass was ‘let go’ everywhere. In some places it looked post apocalyptic - with vegetation ranging from grasses 10-12 inches, or ‘weeds’ up to 4 feet on any grassy patch ranging from domestic lawns and public parks, to meridians that divide the street. Queen Anne’s lace, buttercups, blue bells - all blooming.
