Kew Gardens Autumn Festival - October 2006

They filled the front lake with several million cranberries (leaving room for the ducks and swans), and had an exhibit on the harvesting on cranberries (with a sign reading "From New England to Kew England).

Of course, Ocean Spray as giving out free sample at one of the cafes....and we came home with a few varieties of apple juice from a small producer.

Concentration at the play area
They put out examples from hundreds of varieties of apples.

We have wild parrots and parakeets in London - particularly near us (Richmond Park) and in Hampstead Heath.
