To Kew, for noble trees and spring flowers

 A book swapat the station, how civilised!

 Small plants in big pots at the entrance -

 Shy sunshine behind dark clouds, and the Thames running hight and fast after the recent rain -

 A hornbeam, if I remember right - possibly this - or maybe not! But doesn't it have wonderful twisty branches, and dappled bark -

 This is an elm, a tall one -

 In the distance, magnolia -

 Coming to the end of their flowering, the pale crocuses -
