Visit to Wisley

Yesterday Margaret Glynn and I visited Wisley using our extremely cheap Ryanair tickets - £2 all in if I remember right. What a day. At 4pm it was 19.5C

Good old Ryanair eh? Tireless champions of climate change.

You cant really target any airline for global change.

I started this while at work. The camera is at home with unedited photos. Some strange sights while sitting having coffee - I like my coffee but Wisley must try harder
girls out to impress
boys out to impress
unbelievable high heels
way too many children running wild - tried to push some in the lily pond!
kids throwing stones in the tropical house - parents watching

I think I can have a go at Ryanair over contributing to global warming by encouraging increased flying when they're selling seats at £2 a pop. Not having a go at you, Mark.

Looking forward to the pics. Haven't been to Wisley for a few years now.

You should probably have pushed the parents into the pond!

Very true. So many parents treating the gardens as a play park for their children

Best food yellow bean soup with mint followed by blackberry and sloe trifle

Two quotes over heard from the public
"I have only seen those in blue and white. These colours are fantastic'
"I wouldnt have those growing in my grass. Look at the mess"
