Dearest All
As you may well know by now, The Dandy was at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew on Sunday, trying his best to ignore the winter weather and concentrate on the wonderful feast for the senses these 300 acres afford.
Today, some more images that left a lasting impression on me and the fragrant thoughts they inspired…
1. Hydrangea Failing to Hide in The Gloom

2. Cedar Above The Torrents

4. Temple of Remembrance

Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy.
