Chelsea

Well we're leaving London for Bonny Scotland today. We are up early and packing our bags so that we cab walk up to Paddington Station and catch the Heathrow Express.
Yesterday was cold and cloudy and windy. Not very nice! I suspect Scotland might be similar, oh well.
We went to the Chelsea Physic Garden. Oh no I hear you say, not more gardens. These were the apothecary gardens of the 18th and 19th centuries where they grew the plants used in drugs and medicines. Very interesting. Some are still used today! GG met a nice cat, the first we've seen.

Came back and went for tea with Anne. A lovely evening.

Took some photos of the cars that live around here. All in the street outside. Thought the boys might like them.
