We went back to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew! Hooray!! I bought a small blanket there and a few of us read the text of Richard III while sitting on the grass on the bank of a lake. Idyllic. We only got through the first three acts, but it was so worth it.

| Look how green the Whomping Willow is, I was here just a month ago and it had no leaves! |
 |
| On the Tree walk, if you can tell, it is a walk in the tree tops! |
 |
| A bridge over a long lake. The bridge crosses the short end. |
 |
| How fast the young do grow! |
After the reading I ended up wandering around and toured the smallest palace owned by the royal family, now a preserved site. It is small, less than 20 chambers, with the kitchens in a separate building.

So far my favorite places here are Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace, and Hathaway Cottage. All of them have extensive gardens and lawns.
