Yesterday Mum and I took my cousin Elysia on her birthday outing. We went to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. Although it's not the best time of year to see the gardens, Mum and I still found plenty of interest, and she enjoyed the temperate house (palm trees!) and the skating rink outside it.
For me, the highlight was the Holly Walk, a long stretch of pathway flanked by different varieties of holly, most of which were heavily berried. Inevitably, I took a fair few pictures, some of which I've turned into seasonal icons. Feel free to steal/modify etc - I just thought this was a fun way to show off a whole range of varieties without spamming you with big pictures.
( The Holly bears a berry as red as any blood )
Happy Sunday
