These sculptures were at various points along the way, a lovely rust colour but not rusted.
We noticed at various times over the weekend that the trees had not really begun to turn at yet. This was about the orangey'ist we saw.
Loved the Silver Birch Forest - really quite eerie. They are laying cables at the moment and these trees will be illuminated in different colours as will other parts of the garden. An artists impression of these trees looked wonderful - quite magical.
Does anyone know what these flowers are - they looked like tulips but obviously weren't and they did not have tulip leaves either. Really beautiful flowers.
Captured these two swans sleeping
Gosh I do look grumpy (maybe because Chas takes so long to take a photograph when I am standing there feeling a real nit wit with folks walking past). This is supposed to show you the size of the dahlias.
If you click on this you might see the names of ALL the dahlias in the garden. Just one complete wall of them as shown on the diagram.
Inside the house I could not resist taking a photograph of this loo paper
Or these butter knives (ok I know they aren't but they do remind me of giant ones)
The library is magnificent and has mirrors at each end so that it makes it look even bigger than what it is. This is just one side of it.
This fascinated me, it was made by a French prisoner in Norman Cross Prison in the 1800's and the rigging is made from his own hair.
This is the outside
and this is behind it
I took lots more pictures but I think that is enough for now. Hope you enjoyed them.

I always feel like I've travelled the country when you share your photos, so keep them coming!! I hope to be able to go to Kew Gardens again on Saturday, last time (2 weeks ago) the trees were just starting to turn nicely (got some good photos) and hope they'll be better still now, but it does depend on the weather on Saturday.
Fab pics. Thanks for sharing...and yes you do look a bit grumpy....not like you at all :-)
Hugs,

Thanks Neet
Really enjoyed the tour... is it a National Trust property?.. .I've never seen or heard of it before and it looks well worth a visit. Very interesting place and so lovely that all those flowers are still blooming at this time of year.

What a glorious place... inside and out! The sculpture is wonderful, and the photo of the birch forest is utterly lovely - would frame it on my wall, I think - gorgeous! Loo paper... hmm - definitely some advantages to living now...
