The Royal Gardens--Pure Paradise

My traveling companion suggested that we visit the Royal Botanical Gardens. We had to take a train just outside of London to get there but was it ever worth it! As you can see from the pictures in this post, it was like wandering about inside a Jane Austen film all day. There were hundred year old trees and several beautiful estates located within the grounds. My favorite part was the lily ponds!


We stopped to eat lunch in a little cafe where we ate in a building that reminded me of a greenhouse with giant glass windows overlooking beautiful vistas as far as the eye can see.

Oh, how beautiful! It is like in a fairytale story or something!

The only thing that would make those lily ponds even prettier is if Mr. Darcy came swimming out of 'em!

What beautiful pictures!! It looks like you really had a fabulous time. You deserved too.

How do you know he didn't pop up out of the lilies? ;)
