I think a stroll in the gardens on a crisp autumnal day is good for the soul. The colours are fantastic at this time of year, definitely worthy of spending a few hours milling around with your DLSR.

Next weekend, I’m taking my family to go and see Christmas at Kew. We’re so excited to experience the magic of Kew Gardens IN LIGHTS!! We’ll be sure to wrap up extra warm for our illuminated trail adventure. I can’t wait for mulled wine at the boutique Christmas market, Santa’s Woodland Grotto and a meander along the mile-long festive walk.
